Mr Sharma, who is an Arjuna Awardee and Rajiv Gandhi State Sports Awardee, has alleged that the selection panel, PCI, deliberately and arbitrarily ignored his name for the Paralympics in spite of him fulfilling all the eligibility criteria including achieving the minimum qualifying score. The plea has sought a direction to the PCI to include Mr Sharma's name in the list of selected shooters for the R7 event. The high court has posted the hearing for July 28 next.More Related News
