Four women wrestlers appeal acquittal of Brij Bhushan

Four women wrestlers have challenged the acquittal of Brij Bhushan in a sexual-harassment case. The Hindu reported that the wrestlers filed a plea against the acquittal order. According to the plea, the order was “erroneous and unsustainable in law.” The supplied material does not state which court will hear the challenge, when it was filed or what specific grounds the petition raises beyond the criticism of the acquittal.

It also does not provide the prosecution’s case, the defence’s response or the reasoning contained in the original order. No details were given about the alleged conduct, the evidence considered by the court or the relief sought by the four petitioners. The material does not say whether the court has admitted the challenge, issued notice or scheduled a hearing.

The appeal means the acquittal is being contested, but the information provided does not establish the outcome of that challenge. It records the wrestlers’ legal position that the earlier order should not stand because, in their view, it was legally flawed. Further details about the proceedings were not included in the supplied report.
