Further, PT Usha said that we stand with Vinesh and will try our best to hear Vinesh; legal options are being explored. The website of the Sports Arbitration Court says that an appeal can be made against the decision.
Judicial assistance is given in such matters as lack of jurisdiction and violation of rules. But now it has become very important to see whether Vinesh will appeal against the decision of the Sports Arbitration Court or will accept this decision.
