NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday quashed an FIR against BJP MP Anurag Thakur, former Himachal Pradesh chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal and others in a case related to alleged irregularities in granting land on lease for construction of the Dharamshala cricket stadium.
PTI quotes a Bench of Justices AK Sikri, Ashok Bhushan and Ajay Rastogi as having said: “We allow the appeal. FIR registered is quashed.”
Thakur, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) until the Supreme Court removed him from the position in February 2017, Dhumal and the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association had challenged a High Court order refusing to quash the FIR registered during the then Vir Bhadra Singh government in the state.
