No Court Relief For Ex-Wrestling Chief Brij Bhushan Singh 

The Delhi High Court has refused to provide any relief to former Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna questioned Singh's decision to file a single plea challenging both the order framing charges against him and the entire proceedings. "On merits, everything can’t be quashed if charges are framed," Krishna said.

Singh's lawyer, Rajiv Mohan, argued that there was a hidden agenda behind the filing of the FIR, claiming that the complainant wrestlers had a common motive to remove Singh from his position as WFI president.

The High Court granted Singh’s counsel two weeks to prepare a short note with all the contentions for setting aside the sexual harassment case. The next hearing is scheduled for September 26.

Brij Bhushan faces charges of sexual harassment and outraging the modesty of women. He has challenges the FIR, the chargesheet, and the trial court's order related to the framing of charges in the case. His petition seeks to contest the legal proceedings against him in connection with the complaints filed by several women wrestlers.
