The Punjab and Haryana High Court has allowed MP Amritpal Singh to attend court hearings virtually from Dibrugarh jail citing serious law and order concerns. The decision comes as his NSA detention nears its end, with authorities warning that his physical presence in Punjab could trigger unrest.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court rejected jailed MP Amritpal Singh plea for temporary release to attend Parliament’s budget session, holding no legal infirmity in denial and emphasising that national interests outweigh individual interests in such circumstances.
The Supreme Court refused to hear Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh’s plea challenging his detention under the National Security Act, 1980. The Bench directed him to approach the jurisdictional High Court, which must decide the case within six weeks.
