Today, On 24th February, The Delhi High Court set aside the Indian Olympic Association’s (IOA) decision directing the Bihar Olympic Association to form an ad-hoc panel. The court ruled that the move was unjustified and beyond IOA’s authority. This decision comes amid disputes over the functioning of Bihar’s sports administration. The ruling reinforces the autonomy of state Olympic bodies in managing their own affairs.
