A vacation bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul said there is no urgency in the matter as it has to be first seen whether any trials have been conducted or not and listed the matter along with the plea of Asian Games silver medallist Amit Dhankar, who too has alleged that selection trials have not been held for shortlisting players for the games.
During the proceedings, Mehra cited newspaper reports to substantiate his contention that players have already been shortlisted for the games to be held from July 23 to August 3.
He argued that the selection has been made in an arbitrary matter without holding proper trials as mandated in the sports code and sought directions from the court that no name be forwarded till final outcome of the petition.
The three wrestlers have submitted that the International Wrestling Federation has recently changed weight requirements for five of the seven categories in the sport.
"In view of the introduction of the new weight categories, selection trials were even more imperative as wrestlers in a particular category would be competing against wrestlers who would have been in a different category in the erstwhile classification and as such past performance could not be used as a yardstick to replace selection trials in the instant case," their petition said.
