Delhi Police has been given fifteen days to decide whether to challenge the acquittal of former wrestling federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a sexual-harassment case.

Background

Women wrestlers have pursued an appeal against the acquittal, and proceedings continue before the competent court. The police decision on whether to bring its own challenge remains outstanding.

Legal issue and reasoning

The reported direction concerns procedural consideration of an appeal. It does not reverse the acquittal or decide the allegations against the former federation official.

Outcome and next step

The police must take a decision within the stated period, while the existing appellate proceedings continue according to their listing.
