New 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.

The Supreme Court judgement came after Hockey India's rival Indian Hockey Federation admitted that it was not affiliated to the International Hockey Federation (FIH).

Indian Olympic Association also said that it recognises only Hockey India as the National Federation. (ANI)
