The Punjab and Haryana High Court has dismissed SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia’s bail plea in the Rs 540 crore disproportionate assets case. Majithia remains in custody as the detailed order is awaited.
The Supreme Court has raised serious concern over the rising backlog of gangster and terror-linked cases in Delhi, urging urgent reforms and special courts for speedy trials. The Bench stressed that trials must finish within six months and said “the question of granting bail” should not arise if proceedings move on time.
Bikram Singh Majithia, leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal, challenges his arrest in a disproportionate assets case, claiming it is politically motivated. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has deferred the hearing to July 29, allowing Majithia’s lawyers time to amend their petition against alleged political witch-hunting and abuse of legal processes.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court will hear Bikram Majithia’s plea on July 4, contesting his arrest linked to a Rs 540 crore drug money case. He claims political vendetta, arguing his arrest violates legal procedures and lacks substantial evidence. Majithia seeks to quash the remand order and protect his rights.
