A local court in Amritsar on Thursday conducted a hearing on the anticipatory bail petition filed by Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia in connection with FIR No. 91 registered against him at the Majitha Police Station. The court, after listening to arguments from both the prosecution and the defense, adjourned the matter to June 15 for the next hearing.
Court's Strong Observations on Missing Evidence
During the proceedings, the court made strong observations against the police for their failure to produce the CCTV footage from the Majitha Police Station. The footage is considered crucial evidence in the case. Advocate Bhagwant Singh Sialka, representing Majithia, highlighted that the absence of this footage raises questions about the investigation's fairness.
Details of the Allegations
According to the allegations in FIR No. 91, Majithia, along with more than 50 of his supporters, allegedly entered the Majitha Police Station, tore up police documents, and obstructed government work. The court conducted a detailed hearing on these charges, with both sides presenting their arguments.
The next hearing on June 15 is expected to see further arguments and possible decisions on the anticipatory bail plea. The court's criticism of the police for not providing the CCTV footage has added a new dimension to the case, potentially impacting the investigation and the bail proceedings.
