The Delhi High Court has annulled the Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) decision to establish an ad-hoc panel to investigate the affairs of the Bihar Olympic Association.

Justice Sachin Datta delivered the ruling following the Bihar Olympic Association's plea, ensuring its elections will occur within three months.

The court recognized the petitioner's claim that the IOA president's unilateral decision, made without consulting its executive committee, was illegitimate and could not be upheld.
