New Delhi, Aug 17 (PTI) The Supreme Court today 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. The court passed the order after HI placed before it a communication by the International Hockey Federation (FIH) which said that it only recognises HI to represent Indian team in international event. Webb Roger, the acting Director General of FIH, in the communication had made it clear that HI can only send a team to participate in the World Championship. More PTI RKS KRS MRM
