What does cd "some path" >&- means?

I came across below code line in a shell script file.

cd "some path" >&-

Can anyone help to find the meaning of it ?

stdout is closed. See Redirections (Duplicating File Descriptors). This doesn't make any sense in your example because cd doesn't write to stdout anyway.
