The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament (MP) Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh will be the subject of the Supreme Court’s hearing on Friday over the request of top wrestlers to file a lawsuit in connection with their allegations of sexual harassment. The Delhi Police received a notification from the court, which described the allegations as “serious.”
Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha’s bench heard the appeal for an urgent hearing after hearing from senior lawyer Kapil Sibal. He said that the wrestlers were mutely protesting. The police are not acting, he continued. Examine the claims.If a FIR is not filed, even police officers may face legal action.
The bench ordered that the petition’s petitioners’ names be redacted. It further stated that the public should have access to the redacted version of the plea.
Meanwhile, they requested an urgent hearing from the bench on Monday through senior attorney Narendra Hooda. The petition was not approved for mentioning, but the CJI instructed Hooda to bring it up in front of him on Tuesday after following protocol. The petitioners informed the court that because Singh is a member of the ruling party, they should not expect justice from the police or the government. In order to request the filing of a FIR regarding complaints that date from 2012 to last year, the petition named the head of the Delhi police department and the SHO of the Connaught Place police station as respondents.
