    Case Summary: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed Digvijay Singh's writ petition challenging Clause 6.2 of Haryana's Sports Gradation Certificate notification. The petitioner, who participated in the Asian Schools Basketball Championship 2009, argued that downgrading junior-level participants by one category (placing him in Category 8 instead of 7) was arbitrary and discriminatory. The court rejected this claim, holding that since tournament nature forms the rational basis of the State's classification policy, differential treatment between categories does not constitute unlawful discrimination. The court noted that merely being the sole applicant does not confer eligibility if qualifications are otherwise unmet. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
