Majithia’s anticipatory bail plea adjourned to June 11 in Majitha police station case

Senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia appeared before a court in Amritsar in connection with his application seeking protection from arrest and anticipatory bail in a case registered at Majitha Police Station. Following a hearing on Tuesday, the court scheduled further consideration of the matter for June 11.

During the proceedings, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case informed the court that advocate Bikramjit Bath was present with Majithia on the day of the incident in his capacity as legal counsel and that investigators had found no evidence of his involvement in the alleged offence. The submission resulted in relief for Bath in the case.

According to police records, a case was registered on May 31 against Majithia and several others over allegations of forcibly entering Majitha Police Station and attempting to secure the release of a detainee. The allegations have not been tested in court.

The case has drawn attention due to Majithia’s role as a senior opposition political leader in Punjab. The court’s decision on the anticipatory bail application could determine the next steps in the legal proceedings.
