A Delhi court said on June 27 it will pass an order on July 1 on whether to take cognisance of the charge sheet filed against BJP MP and outgoing WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in a case of alleged sexual harassment of six women wrestlers.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Harjeet Singh Jaspal adjourned the matter after a brief hearing.
"Fresh charge sheet filed. Let it be checked. Since it's a lengthy chargesheet, will keep it for consideration after a couple of days," the ACMM said and fixed the matter for July 1.
During the proceedings, the judge dismissed an application filed earlier on behalf of the grapplers seeking a court-monitored probe, terming it "infructuous".
"Since in the present matter the charge sheet has already been filed, the application seeking monitoring becomes infructuous," the judge said.
The city police had filed a charge sheet in the case against Singh, a six-time MP, on June 15 under Sections 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354A (sexual harassment), 354D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
The charge sheet had also named Vinod Tomar, the suspended assistant secretary of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), for offences under Sections 109 (abetment of any offence, if the act abetted is committed in consequence, and where no express provision is made for its punishment), 354, 354A and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
