A division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice AV Mohta asked the BAI to consider 19-year-old Sawant for selection in upcoming tournaments based on her last two years’ performance.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Sawant, who had accused Gopichand of mentally harassing her after she was refused entry to the national coaching camp held in Hyderabad.
