NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday stayed the Boxing Federation of India’s (BFI) March 7 directive – signed by its president Ajay Singh – that only bonafide and duly-elected members of BFI’s affiliated units are authorised to represent their respective states in the forthcoming elections, scheduled on March 28 in Gurugram.
This development has provided momentary respite to the rival faction – led by senior BJP leader and former sports minister Anurag Thakur – which is challenging incumbent Singh’s ambitious bid to secure a third consecutive term as the federation’s head.
