9. Vide our order dated 2-3-2004 we had directed the respondent-Association to produce the complete original records in Court which were not available on that date: Records were produced before the Court on 4-3-2004. The records produced before us consisted only of four pages which included the entry form for the 24th Open Nationals, undated notice for holding Chandigarh State Senior Rowing Championship for men and women on 22-2-2004 and the original of document Annexure R. 1 as referred to above. The records produced do not further the cause and in fact only re-affirm certain doubts which have been expressed by the petitioners in their writ petition. The sports profile of the petitioners and their achievements have not been disputed. The stand taken by the respondents before us is also falsified to a large extent even by the limited record produced by them before the Court. In the entry-sheet (copy of which has been annexed to the reply as Annexure R. 1) itself shows that no entry for women had been made for event of Coxless Four. Under serial No. 4, names of girls including respondent Nos. 4 and 5 were written and a cross was put in front thereof clearly showing that no entry was made. Just an entry above that for Coxless Pair, names of both the petitioners were entered and who actually participated in that event. It is difficult for us to understand why the sports women of such record would not opt to participate in the event which they had already won at different levels. The record in fact shows that even Gurpreet Kaur, Gurnoor, Saroj and Sukhman have been inducted to this item without any proper selection. The falsehood of the stand taken by the respondents is further established from the entry sheet produced by the respondents themselves in Court wherein the petitioner No. 1 along with Ms. Keerti have been shown as spare for the same event of Coxless Four in which, according to the respondents, they have neither given an entry nor participated. We are at loss to understand why should an Association of sports event act in such an arbitrary, bias and unhealthy manner. The basic phenomenon of a sport is fairness. Every sports person and the people involved in the process of selection and coaching are required to act most fairly, objectively and in the interest of the sport.
