Haryana High Court: The returning polling officer on Saturday confirmed that the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections will be held on December 21 and the results will be declared on the same day after counting of votes.

This comes after the Supreme Court recently set aside the stay imposed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, paving the way for the process of electing the new WFI governing body.

"All steps up to the stage of preparation and display of the final list of contesting candidates were completed (on Aug 7) and various activities like polling, counting of votes and declaration of the result alone were left," said a statement issued by the returning officer for the polls.
