Asian Games 2026: Karnataka High Court orders enquiry through former apex court judge into procedural lapses in selection of surfers

India’s Karnataka High Court has directed an investigation, led by a former Supreme Court judge, into alleged procedural irregularities in the selection of the state’s surfers for the 2026 Asian Games. While the court acknowledged breaches of established norms, it stopped short of ordering a new selection process, citing concerns that it could jeopardize India’s participation in the event.
