The Supreme Court on Monday (July 28, 2025) quashed an FIR against badminton player Lakshya Sen, his family members, and coach in the birth certificate forgery case.
A Bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar said the continuation of criminal proceedings against Mr. Sen is unwarranted and amounts to abuse of the process of court.
