Watch what else is making news

Thakur and others were summoned as accused by the lower court in connection with the matter in 2015. The high court had said though the accused were summoned, their roles were not specifically pointed out in commission of the alleged offence.

“What is stated in the FIR and challan is that the HPCA has illegally encroached upon the land of Education Department by raising construction of the stadium on some part and also raising boundary wall on it.

“There is neither any averment in the FIR, nor in the challan/charge sheet that the office bearers of HPCA have entered upon the property in possession of the Education Department with intent to commit an offence or to intimidate, insult or annoy or having entered legally upon such property, unlawfully remained there with intent to intimidate, insult or annoy any such person,” the high court had noted in its verdict.
