High court notice to Punjab after 2 players say they were not issued sports gradation certificate

Away from media glare, Banita Joshi and some other sportswomen in Punjab, too, have a grievance.

A national-level netball player representing Punjab, Joshi won a silver medal in the 36th National Games organised by the Indian Olympic Association in September-October 2022. But she and another player have moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court, claiming that they have been wrongly denied the sports gradation certificate despite outstanding achievements in sports.
