New Delhi: The Gauhati High Court on Sunday stayed the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections, scheduled for July 11, on the plea of the Assam Wrestling Association, PTI reported.


The Assam Wrestling Association had filed its petition against the WFI, the IOA’s ad-hoc panel and the sports ministry.


According to PTI, the Assam Wrestling Association argued that though it was entitled to be an affiliated member of the WFI, it was granted one "despite recommendation made by then WFI Executive Committee at WFI's General Council in Gonda, on November 15, 2014."













The petition stated that unless AWA is affiliated with the WFI, and can nominate their representative to the electoral college, the election process should be stalled.
