Award to ex-wrestling coach: HC sets aside single judge order

August 29, 2015 14:03

The Delhi high court today set aside an order of its single judge which had directed the Centre to confer Dronacharya Award 2015 on former chief national wrestling coach Vinod Kumar.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice G Rohini asked the single judge to look afresh into the plea by Kumar, who had moved the high court against Dronacharya Award selection committee for ignoring him for the prestigious honour.

The court's direction came on the plea filed by Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports challenging a single judge order which was passed yesterday. The ministry had sought an urgent hearing as the award ceremony is scheduled to be held today.
