Delhi HC Clarifies No Stay on Wrestlers' Sexual Harassment Case Trial
The Delhi High Court said that the trial in a case against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a former wrestling official, is still going on.
Some women wrestlers have accused him of sexual harassment.
The court will hear Singh's request to cancel the case on April 21.
Singh says he was wrongly accused and the investigation was unfair.
The trial court has already charged Singh and another person with harassment and intimidation.
The police started the case after the Supreme Court told them to.
Delhi High Court clarified there is no stay on the trial court proceedings in the sexual harassment case against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
The court scheduled Singh's plea to quash the FIR and charges for hearing on April 21, 2024.
Singh's lawyer sought an adjournment, and the judge questioned why the matter had not been argued yet.
Charges of sexual harassment, intimidation, and outraging the modesty of women were framed against Singh on May 21, 2024.
The Delhi Police filed the FIR against Singh after the Supreme Court's intervention in May 2023.
