Law For Sports

The Supreme Court of India's recent ruling that government must stay away from sports bodies, is praiseworthy. It is definitely a sporting move and supposed to safeguard the deserving sportspersons' interests against red-tapism, nepotism and other corrupt practices. But the highest court of appeal should also see to it that its verdict is not made a mockery of. Perhaps strict disciplinarians and out-and-out professionals like Jagmohan Dalmiya are the needs of the hour, so far as the administration of the country's sports bodies are concerned, so as to make India a sporting superpower.
