Court rejects accused’s plea
Mohali, October 3 The Punjab and Haryana High Court today dismissed their plea of moving the case from the Mohali District Courts to another state. The accused had contended that no advocate was ready to represent them as the victim had been practicing in that court. The counsels of the victim’s family, however, said some of the accused had political connections and wanted to shift the case to a particular court in Haryana. “In fact, the court of Mohali Additional District and Sessions Judge Manjot Kaur had offered to provide a government counsel free of cost to the accused, but they did not accept the offer,” said one of the counsels, Kanwaljit Singh. He said one of the accused, Sunbir Singh, had also moved an application in the High Court for getting a regular bail, on the pretext of getting married, on September 13. “It was later revealed that the accused was trying to mislead the court, following which the application was rejected,” he said.
