The contention of counsel for the petitioner is that for participation in the competitive sports, it is incumbent that the petitioner, who is a minor, undergoes an age determination test.

It is argued that the respondent no. 5 should conduct a re-test on the child in question. 3. Considering the said submission, the present petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to approach the respondent no. 5 along with the child. The respondent no. 5 shall conduct a fresh age determination test and shall issue a certificate accordingly. 4. The re-test, as directed above, shall be done within a period of two days from the petitioner approaching the respondent no.5.
