[^1]\n\nThe Delhi High Court issued a notice on September 1, 2026, seeking responses from the Centre, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), and the Indian Olympic Association on a petition by wrestler Vinesh Phogat. [^2]\n\nWrestler Vinesh Phogat, who gave birth to a child in July 2025, filed a petition seeking a structured framework to facilitate the return of women athletes to competitive sports after pregnancy and maternity leave. [^3]\n\nPhogat's lawyers, including senior advocate Rajshekhar Rao, submitted that the WFI failed to comply with the high court's July 6 direction to decide the May 9 show-cause notice within two weeks. [^4]\n\nThe disciplinary proceedings against Phogat were initiated pursuant to show-cause notices alleging indiscipline, violations of anti-doping regulations, and misconduct during the 2026 Asian Games selection trials. [^5]\n\nThe same bench issued notice in a separate petition by Phogat seeking implementation of a fair framework for women athletes returning to competitive sport following pregnancy and childbirth. [^6]\n\nAccording to the plea, the eligibility criteria relied on performances in tournaments held during her maternity period, effectively penalising her for an absence over which she had no control. [^7]\n\nMs. Phogat sought directions for the formulation of a fair and structured framework for women athletes returning from maternity, transparent and objectively verifiable selection and nomination processes, as well as an alternative mechanism for athletes disadvantaged by maternity-related absences.
