The petition, moved by advocate Hrishikesh Baruah and Akshay Kumar, demanded that the directive issued by the IOA ad-hoc committee with regards to the two categories (men&rsquo;s freestyle 65kg and women&rsquo;s 53kg) be quashed and the exemption granted to Bajrang and Vinesh be set aside.

&ldquo;These wrestlers had said during their protest at Jantar Mantar that their fight is for justice and for the cause of junior wrestlers and now they want to sideline the junior wresters, so we had to move court against this decision,&rdquo; Dayanand Kalkal, father of Sujeet told PTI.
