The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday granted interim anticipatory bail to former Punjab director-general of police Sumedh Singh Saini in a corruption case.
The orders were passed by Justice Avneesh Jhingan after hearing detailed arguments on behalf of the petitioner and the state.
Saini had moved the High Court through senior advocate APS Deol and counsel Himmat Singh Deol two days after a Mohali court rejected his anticipatory bail application.
The Mohali court had observed that the case was registered after a detailed inquiry conducted by the VB on Joint Director’s complaint and was based on documents.
Saini has all along been claiming false implication. Among other things it was argued that the case was the outcome of political vendetta and in line with the three earlier cases registered against him.
