The selection of sports person is dependent on uniform application of norms by the selectors,” the court said. Meanwhile, on November 8, 2017, the NPC changed its selection policy which the petitioners termed as arbitrary and illegal. On February 25 this year, the PCI released a name of 15 participants for the UAE and South Korean Games. The court compared the petitioner’s score with those participants sent to UAE for the 2018 AI Ain World Shooting Para Sport World Cup to come to a conclusion whether he could be sent to South Korea. It also said that two different yardsticks cannot be put in place for ascertaining suitability of sportsperson.
