The Delhi High Court Today (Aug 29) criticised former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Brij Bhushan Singh for filing a plea to quash trial court proceedings related to the sexual harassment case filed against him by women wrestlers after the trial had already begun. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna on Thursday said that the plea by Singh appeared to be an oblique one to quash the case in its entirety after the commencement of trial against him.
The Delhi High Court on Today (Aug 28) granted four more weeks to the Centre to respond to a petition by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) challenging its suspension. The Centre had suspended the WFI on December 24, 2023, three days after it elected new office bearers, for allegedly not following the provisions of its own constitution while taking decisions.
