International athlete receive award money on court directions after six years<\/p>\n

Nainital, April 5<\/p>\n

Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma of Nainital High Court has ordered payment of award money to an athlete from Uttarakhand who had won a gold medal in an international athletics event but was not fully paid his award amount.<\/p>\n

Gurmeet Singh, an international level athlete had filed a Writ Petition before the Hon’ble High Court of Uttarakhand for non-payment of Sports Award since 2016 as per the Uttarakhand Government Sports Policy, 2014.<\/p>\n

Gurmeet Singh hailing from Uttarakhand had won a Gold Medal in the \u00a0Asian 20 km\u00a0Race Walking Championship held in Nomi, Japan in 2016 and participated in 20 km\u00a0Race Walk held in Rome, Italy in 2016.<\/p>\n

Irum Zeba, Counsel for the petitioner told the court that as per 2014 Sports Policy of Uttarakhand, the petitioner was entitled to a total sum Rs.1 1,00,000\/- as Sports Award. However, merely half of that amount i.e. Rs.5,50,000\/- only was paid to him till 2022. A prayer was made through the petition before the High Court for getting the remaining Sports Award. The Court taking a very serious view of such non-payment to a sports person, called the Joint Director, Sports, Government of Uttarakhand for a personal appearance in the Court today.<\/p>\n

Justice Sharad Kumar Sharma observed that State should honor and facilitate the Sports persons who have represented India in International Games and such non-payment of Sports Award is arbitrary and unjust. The Hon’ble Judge \u00a0directed the payment forthwith in the Court itself.<\/p>\n

Following the direction of the Court, the Joint Director Sports presented a copy of order of payment of the remaining amount of Rs. 5,50,000\/- in the Court and promised the delivery of original cheque till tomorrow. The court disposed off the matter after the government assurance.<\/p>\n
