The respondents MOHIT KUMAR 2026.04.06 18:09 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgment. CWP-38818-2025 -3- are intentionally delaying the matter. They are not conducting requisite tests. These tests are mandatory still respondents are not complying. 7. Heard the arguments and perused the record. 8. From the perusal of record especially prayer made in the petition, it is evident that petitioner is praying that there should be biological age test of players participating in 69th National School Games U-17 Boys Football. The said competition has already concluded. The prayer made in the petition is general in nature. It now remains to be public interest litigation. 9. In the backdrop, the petition stands disposed of.
