2.The petitioner has arranged for the Kabadi Tournament in memory of two kabaddi

which had happened after the completion of the earlier Kabadi Tournament. Another

procedures which has to be followed. Therefore, the impugned order is quashed.

standard operating procedures and also fix the timings of the tournament. The

the standard operating procedures that would be prescribed by the respondents.
