HC seeks city govt's response in Brij Bhushan's plea
The Morning Standard
|October 19, 2024
THE high court on Friday sought the response of the Delhi government regarding an application filed by former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, seeking an early hearing of his plea to quash criminal proceedings in sexual harassment cases lodged against him by female grapplers.
Besides expedited hearing, Singh also urged the court to stay the ongoing criminal trial until his quashing petition is decided. Vinod Tomar, former WFI assistant secretary and co-accused in the case for allegedly intimidating a wrestler, has similarly sought the same relief.
Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri, who took up the matter briefly, questioned the urgency behind the early hearing request, asking, "What is the ground of the early hearing application? That one witness has been examined in trial?" Following the discussion, the court issued a notice in the matter.
Delhi government's standing counsel Sanjeev Bhandari accepted the notice, with the next hearing scheduled for December 16.
