"We have all the sympathy and share the same views,” the Supreme Court said while adding that it cannot be done under the diktat of the court
The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to entertain a plea seeking directions for advancement of facilities for athletics and also availability of latest training infrastructure and funds to the sports persons saying there has to be individual drive. A bench of Justices U.U. Lalit, Ravindra Bhat and Bela M. Trivedi said it was aware of the issues but cannot pass any directions to the government. "Are you into sports? There has to be individual drive in men or women. There are people like Mirabai Chanu, Mary Kom who have risen above adversities and yet shined like anything. This cannot be done under the diktat of the court. We won't be able to do anything. Either you withdraw or we will dismiss the petition," the bench said.More Related News
