August 27th, 2010 - 6:10 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, Aug 27 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Friday permitted the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and Hockey India (HI) to select and field the men’s and women’s hockey teams for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which begins on October 3.
“We direct as an interim measure that IOA and HI will field the Indian team for men and women hockey in the Commonwealth Games,” said an apex court Bench comprising Justice R V Raveendran and Justice H L Gokhale.
