The Punjab and Haryana High Court (HC) on Monday disposed of a petition filed by senior SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia challenging a summoning notice from Punjab police SIT that is probing the December 2021 drugs case.
The petition was disposed of after the state counsel told the HC that the notice dated June 7 issued under Section 91 of CrPC has been withdrawn. A detailed order is awaited.
In his plea filed on June 18, Majithia through his counsel had alleged that he was being harassed due to frequent summons/notices and had further submitted that the SIT can’t ask for personal documents such as bank details, business related information etc. from him under Section 91 of the CrPC. Thus, the notice issued is illegal. He had also claimed that there was no credible and legally admissible material against him and that the case is “blatantly political in nature”.
