has acknowledged the validity of the Brijinder Singh-led Indian Golf Union (IGU) as the recognised national federation for the sport of golf in the country.
In its order, a single-judge bench of Justice Sachin Datta noted: 'The IGU led by Singh is duly recognised by the sports ministry as the sole NSF for golf in India; the elections held on Dec 15, 2024 for the IGU governing body were duly recognised by both the ministry and International Golf Federation (IGF) and that the elected body has continued to function and represent India internationally with the support of ministry.

The court's directions came on a plea filed by the IGU against the Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) failure to invite the IGU's duly-elected representatives to the NOC's Special General Body Meeting (SGBM) here on Wednesday.
IGU's secretary S K Sharma informed TOI that as a result of the court's order, the IOA has agreed to send the names of the golfers for the Asian Youth Games (AYG), which have been forwarded by the Singh-led IGU, for representing India at the event, conforming with the selection policy of the body.
These include Veer Ganpathy, Anshul Mishra, Raghav Gulati in the boys' section and Mannat Preet Brar, Zara Anand and Saanvi Somu in the girls' division.
For the Youth Games, London Olympics bronze medallist wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt has been named the chef-de-mission (CDM) by the IOA.
