- Justice Deepak Verma
Correct Option: B
Two successive years of controversies in the Arjuna award forced the Union sports ministry to appoint V.K. Bali, former Chief Justice of Kerala High Court, as the head of the selection committee in July 2015. Recommendations made by the earlier panels headed by Michael Ferreira (2013) and Kapil Dev (2014) led to intense lobbying amongst rival athletes.
