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:
