Himachal Pradesh High Court directs BFI to allow Thakur's nomination in its polls

The Hindu  

Former sports minister Anurag Thakur's bid to contest the Boxing Federation of India's presidential election was brought back on track after the Himachal Pradesh High Court stayed his disqualification from the Electoral College and directed the BFI to extend the date of nominations to enable his candidature. However, Justice Ajay Mohan Goel on Thursday ruled that the Electoral College approved by Returning Officer R.K. Gauba on March 13, which left out Mr. Thakur, "is prima facie bad and not sustainable in law." The court directed BFI to treat the names of Mr. Thakur and another HPBA official Rajesh Bhandari as "valid nomination for the Electoral College." The Himachal Pradesh High Court's order comes a day after the Delhi High Court too stayed the March 7 order but allowed the election process to proceed as planned with the final outcome dependent on its decision on the plea filed by the Delhi Amateur Boxing Association.
