Hearing on Majithia’s plea deferred for July 8
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|July 05, 2025
THE SAD LEADER HAD MOVED HC ON JULY 1, CALLING THE FIR AND HIS ARREST ‘POLITICAL WITCH-HUNTING AND VENDETTA’
The Punjab and Haryana high court on Friday deferred hearing on the plea from Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia against arrest and remand in a disproportionate assets case for July 8.
The bench of justice Tribhuvan Dahiya did not grant any interim relief to the SAD leader but directed Punjab advocate general Maninderjit Singh Bedi to seek instructions on the issues raised in the plea by the adjourned date. The court has not issued a formal notice on the plea.
Majithia, arrested in the DA case, was sent to a seven-day vigilance remand by the Mohali court on June 26, which was extended by four days on July 2.
