1. The Indian Olympic Association (hereafter IOA) seeks appropriate

directions that the National Sports Code, issued by the respondent Union

Government (hereafter “UOI”) is beyond its executive power (since

Parliament does not possess legislative power to enact a law in that regard)

and that its provisions are violative of its (IOA‟s) rights guaranteed under

Articles 14, 19(1) (c) and 21 of the Constitution of India.
