The Badminton Association of India (BAI) has approached the Delhi High Court against what it termed as 'false' information regarding a London badminton trip involving judges. The matter was mentioned for urgent listing before a vacation bench of Justice Tejas Karia on Friday.
Urgent Hearing Sought
BAI's counsel mentioned the petition before the bench, seeking an urgent hearing. The association contended that certain reports circulating about judges traveling to London for a badminton event were baseless and defamatory. The court is yet to pass any order on the listing.
Background of the Case
The controversy stems from unverified claims that some judges were sponsored to attend a badminton tournament in London. BAI denied any involvement or knowledge of such a trip, calling the news 'malicious and fabricated'. The association emphasized its commitment to transparency and sports ethics.
The petition seeks directions to restrain the dissemination of false information and action against those responsible for spreading the claims. The High Court is expected to hear the matter in due course.
