They have a published dispute resolution policy:

http://www.registry.in/.IN%20Domain%20Name%20Dispute%20Resolution%20Policy%20(INDRP)

The relevant clauses are 4 & 6, possibly 7.  Is Wikipedia registered as 
a trademark in India?  Reading clause 4, I'm not sure anyone except the 
holder of a trademark will be able to challenge a registration.  Have a 
look at the decisions they've put up on the website.  They complainant 
seems to have an Indian trademark or to have applied for one in most cases:
