Water sports girl Bilquis Mir wins legal battle as JK High Court slams ACB
The Northlines
|27 July 2025
Bilquis Mir, India's sole female judge for Kayaking and Canoeing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has triumphed in her three-year legal battle for quashing an FIR filed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, with the Jammu and Kashmir High Court delivering a scathing indictment of authorities saying it "seems that the people at the helm of affairs are leaving no stone unturned in harassing such talented people".
The court said the attitude of ACB "in criminalising non-acquisition of a technical qualification" by Mir when she has brought laurels to the country all over the world "speaks volumes about the manner in which we are treating our sporting heroes" and that the case appears to be "nothing but a witch-hunt launched against the petitioner by vested interests".
