    "articleBody": "The Delhi High Court has rejected wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s plea to participate in the World Championship trials. The court directed the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to establish clear guidelines for women athletes, following Phogat’s return from maternity leave and her request to compete.\n\nPhogat’s counsel stated they attended a meeting at the Constitution Club in response to a show cause notice, but no representatives from the WFI were present. The federation later claimed that Phogat did not participate in the meeting. An expert observed that this situation effectively sidelines Phogat for two more years, ending her athletic career.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nDelhi HC directs Wrestling Federation of India to set guidelines for women wrestlers\nDelhi High Court Seeks Centre and State Response on Waqf Board Plea\nDelhi HC to hear habeas corpus plea on Swatantra Bhardwaj’s arrest",
