💨 Abstract

The Delhi High Court has ordered the central sports ministry to ensure gender parity in the participation of male and female athletes in national sports federation events. The court also directed that the pool of athletes should be broad enough to include those who participated in domestic, local, or Khelo India sporting events. The order came after a plea challenging a Badminton Association of India (BAI) notification that provided fewer slots for women para-athletes compared to men.
