New Delhi, Apr 25 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by the State of Punjab challenging the regular bail granted to Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia in a high-profile drug case.
A Bench comprising Justice J.K. Maheshwari and Justice Aravind Kumar upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s August 10, 2022, order granting bail, while also issuing strong directions to prevent public commentary on the ongoing investigation.
The Court, while refusing to interfere with the bail order, made it clear that neither should the Special Investigation Team (SIT) nor Majithia make any public statements related to the investigation or court proceedings.
