MP kabaddi player can play for Goa in Federation Cup: HC
Panaji:
The
high court of Bombay at Goa
on Monday permitted kabaddi player
Bhavani Rajput
to participate in the Federation Cup of 2025, scheduled at Amravati, Maharashtra, from May 4.
The player went to the high court after he was dropped by the
Goa Kabaddi Association
from the coaching camp for the Federation Cup. The association stated that it relieved him from the coaching camp following a letter from the
Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India
, which stated that each player should strictly represent his or her respective state unit only.
The division bench, comprising justices Bharati Dangre and Nivedita Mehta, observed that all requisite formalities for transferring Rajput's candidature from the team of Madhya Pradesh to Goa were adhered to. The high court was told that Rajput's Aadhaar card now refers to him as a resident of Panaji, Goa, and that a no-objection certificate (NOC) was issued in Rajput's favour by the general secretary of
Joff Jabalpur Kabaddi Association
, stating that he is desirous of playing on behalf of Goa.
The federation contested the NOC, saying that the NOC ought to have been issued by the state authority and not by the Joff Jabalpur Association, which is a district-level authority.

The high court directed Rajput to obtain an NOC from the Madhya Pradesh Amateur Kabaddi Association at the earliest, and directed the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India to issue Rajput the registration to the Goa Kabaddi Association. This procedure is to be completed online so that Rajput will receive registration to enable him to participate in the federation tournament.
