New Delhi, Dec 7 (PTI) The Delhi High Court today reserved its judgement on a PIL filed by a coach alleging that Hockey India (HI) was threatening players against taking part in World Series Hockey (WSH), a joint initiative of Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) and Nimbus Sport. A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice A K Sikri reserved its order after the counsel for Joachim Caravalho, a former player and coach, the Centre and the Hockey India concluded their arguments. Counsel Jayant Bhushan, appearing for Caravalho, said HI was trying to prevent players from deriving monetary gains by participating in WSH as it was for the first time that such a tournament was being organized which offers money to participating players. "They (HI) want to ruin the financial prospects of not just 11 or 24 players but the top 48 players of the country", he said. (more)
