New Delhi October 23:

The Supreme Court permitted Hockey India (HI) to select and send the Indian hockey team for the Asian Games, which are to be held in China.

A bench headed by Justice R V Raveendran issued the directions after hearing the counsel for the petitioner, who submitted that only HI is recognised by International Hockey Federation and therefore only HI can represent India in an international hockey tournament.

Indian Hockey Federation is not recognised by International Hockey Federation. The HI had also selected the Indian hockey team for the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in which India won the silver medal.
