A court in the capital, Delhi, accepted a Delhi police report, recommending the cancellation of the case against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
The former head of India's wrestling federation has been cleared in a sexual harassment case filed by a minor female wrestler.
The cases against Singh made headlines in 2023 when he was charged with sexual harassment after months of protests by India's top wrestlers.
In the aftermath of the row, Singh had stepped down as the wrestling federation chief.
Earlier this year, The Hindu and Indian Express newspapers reported that the Wrestling Federation of India was functioning out of Singh's address in Delhi.
