Delhi High Court has stayed the proceedings before a trial court here against former Indian national Hockey team captain Sardar Singh, facing allegation of sexual harassment made by his estranged girlfriend, an ex- British player.
“Further proceedings before the trial court shall remain stayed,” Justice Vipin Sanghi said and issued notice to the former Under-19 British hockey player seeking her response on Singh’s plea by January 6 next year.
The court has also sought the reply of Delhi Police on Singh’s plea seeking stay on proceedings before a trial court which had allowed the woman’s complaint seeking directions to the police for lodging an FIR.
Singh, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment, exploitation, mental, physical and emotional torture made by his estranged girlfriend, has submitted before the high court that the trial court did not give him a chance to be heard and no notice was issued before passing the order.
