According to the National Sports Governance Bill, what body will have powers equivalent to a civil court to resolve sports disputes?
National Sports TribunalThe bill proposes the creation of a National Sports Tribunal, which will have the authority of a civil court to adjudicate disputes related to athlete selection, federation elections, and other sports-related matters. Its decisions will be binding and can only be challenged in the Supreme Court, ensuring a swift and specialized resolution mechanism. This is aimed at reducing prolonged litigation in regular courts and improving transparency in sports administration. The tribunal is a key reform to ensure fair play and accountability in Indian sports governance. It complements the NSB by providing a dedicated legal framework for dispute resolution.

What condition allows sports administrators aged between 70 and 75 to contest elections under the new bill, despite the previous 70-year age cap?
If permitted by the concerned international sports body’s statutesThe National Sports Governance Bill allows administrators between 70 and 75 years to contest federation elections, but only if the respective international sports federation permits such age limits in their statutes. This is a relaxation from the earlier national sports code that strictly capped the age at 70. The provision ensures alignment with global standards and avoids conflicts with international eligibility norms. It reflects a pragmatic approach to governance, balancing domestic rules with international requirements. This flexibility is crucial for Indian representatives in global sports bodies.

How does the National Sports Governance Bill address government control over international participation in sports during sensitive times?
The Central Government can impose reasonable restrictions in extraordinary circumstancesThe bill grants the Central Government the power to impose reasonable restrictions on Indian teams' or athletes' participation in international events under extraordinary circumstances and in national interest. This provision clarifies ambiguities, especially concerning bilateral events with Pakistan, where political tensions often affect sporting ties. While multilateral events are generally allowed, bilaterals have been avoided since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The Pahalgam attack in April 2025 further strained relations, making such provisions necessary. This ensures that the government retains final authority on matters of national interest.

Who among the following will NOT be part of the search-cum-selection committee for appointing NSB members?
A former Chief Justice of IndiaThe search-cum-selection committee for the National Sports Board includes the Cabinet Secretary or Sports Secretary as chairperson, the DG of SAI, two experienced sports administrators, and one eminent sportsperson (Dronacharya/Khel Ratna/Arjuna awardee). It does not include judicial figures like a former Chief Justice of India. The committee is designed to ensure expertise in sports governance, public administration, and athletic excellence. The absence of a judicial member emphasizes administrative and sports-specific qualifications over legal oversight in appointments. This structure aims to maintain transparency and merit in the selection process.
