New Delhi, August 27: The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and Hockey India (HI) to field the Indian team for men and women hockey in the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
“We direct as an interim measure that IOA and HI will field the Indian team for men and women hockey in the Commonwealth Games,” a Bench comprising R V Raveendran and H L Gokhale said.
The order was passed after Hockey India’s rival Indian Hockey Federation admitted that it was not affiliated to the International Hockey Federation (FIH).
Indian Olympic Association had also said that it recognizes only Hockey India as the National Federation.
