PIL against BCCI's Sports awards recommendations
A writ petition has been filed in Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench by me and wife Nutan challenging the recommendations of BCCI for sports awards. This year BCCI has recommended Batsman Virat Kohli for Arjuna Awards for outstanding performance and ex Captain Sunil Gavaskar for Dhyan Chand award for life time achievement.
As per the petition, only National Sports Federation (NSF) can make recommendations for the national sports awards. BCCI is not one of the 51 NSFs recognized by the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs. BCCI is a completely unrecognized private body which does not want to become a NSF and yet wants to have all advantages of NSF. Hence it cannot make such recommendations
Based on this, we have prayed the High Court to direct the Sports Ministry not to entertain the recommendations of awards made by BCCI.
