Chandigarh, October 30
If allegations in an affidavit filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court are to be believed, Sikh Gurdwara Judicial Commission member Dara Singh was reportedly picked up by the Amritsar police after he refused to tow the line of Chairman Kashmir Singh.
In his affidavit, Shiromani Gurudawara Parbandhak Committee member Hardial Singh Brar claimed that Dara Singh, after calling him up, said he had “refused to tow the line by not signing the orders for suspending or removing SGPC members Bakshish Singh
Dharowali, Darshan Singh, Jaswinder Singh, Sucha Singh Langah and Dilbagh Singh against whom a petition for removal had been
moved”.
Dara Singh, Mr Brar claimed, had told the Chairman that he would decide the cases in accordance with the law as the elections for SGPC’s President were scheduled to be held on November 12”. Mr Brar added that the “shocking treatment” which Dara Singh received was due to the independent stand taken by him. He added that Dara Singh had now been falsely implicated in case pertaining to security proceedings under Sections 107 and 151 of the CrPC and he was ordered to be produced before Amritsar’s Executive Magistrate and released on bail”.
Mr Brar concluded that the facts were being brought to the notice of the High Court for appropriate action Court deemed fit in the circumstances of the case. The affidavit will now come up for consideration on October 31 before a Division Bench of the High Court, comprising Chief justice Mr
B.K. Roy and Mr Justice G.S. Singhvi.
