    Case Summary: CWP-19264-2026 Aranaya Thakur, a World Taekwondo Cadet Championship silver medalist and India's top-ranked Under-57 kg athlete, challenged India Taekwondo's selection of a lower-ranked athlete for the 2026 Asian Games. The merger of Under-53 kg and Under-57 kg categories into a single Under-57 kg event prompted her petition seeking a head-to-head selection trial and invocation of the Relaxation Clause under the selection criteria. The Punjab and Haryana High Court disposed of the petition directing competent authorities to consider Thakur's representation under the Relaxation Clause by June 23, 2026, within parameters of the Ministry Selection Criteria. The Union of India and India Taekwondo supported consideration of her representation based on previous achievements.
