The Supreme Court has allowed the Hockey India (HI) and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to send women's team to participate in the World Cup in Argentina beginning on August 26. The apex court noted that the players who have been selected for participation in the World Cup by the HI and the IOA are the same as identified and selected by the government's Sports Authority of India. A Bench comprising Justices R V Raveendran and H L Gokhale made it clear that this was a temporary arrangement as the team has to be sent to Argentina by August 21 for country's participation in the sporting event.
