Abstract Sports is an integral part of India’s cultural heritage, with a rich history dating back to ancient times. Today, India is a significant player in the global sports industry, producing world-class athletes in various disciplines. Sports law in India has developed significantly over the years, reflecting the growing importance of sports in the country. Regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the Sports Authority of India, the National Anti-Doping Agency, and National Sports Federations play a crucial role in the development and administration of sports in India. However, the legal framework governing sports in India has been inadequate and fragmented, leading to numerous challenges for athletes, sports organizations, and other stakeholders. The need for a comprehensive legal framework to address these challenges has become increasingly important in recent years. There are still critical issues that need to be addressed, such as the lack of transparency in sports governance and the need for effective dispute resolution mechanisms. In the coming years, sports law in India is expected to continue evolving as the country seeks to establish itself as a global sports destination. This study aims to examine the emerging trends in the intersection of sports and law in India. Top Keywords Sports, Sports Law, Regulatory Framework of Sports Law, Supreme Court of Sports Law. Top |
