The Delhi High Court has requested responses from the Central Government and the Boxing Federation of India regarding a petition by Anurag Thakur and the Himachal Pradesh Boxing Association about election disputes. Scheduled for an August hearing, this case, alongside a similar petition, highlights governance challenges in Indian sports and may influence future election conduct.
Anurag Singh Thakur, former Union Sports Minister, has challenged his disqualification from the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) presidential elections. The Supreme Court is reviewing this case following an interim stay by the Himachal Pradesh High Court allowing Thakur to participate after his nomination was initially rejected.
