Punjab (The Stellar News): The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to Senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Vikram Singh Majithia in a drugs case.
Akali Leader moved to High Court seeking regular bail in the case registered on December 20 last year, under the provision of the narcotic drugs and Psychoturopic substances act.
Majithia in his petition had contented that the then congress government in the state did not leave any stone unturned to misuse its power and position for wreaking vengeance against its political opponents and the petitioner was once such target.
“The present dispensation has also not left any stone unturned to target the petitioner further,” Majithia contended.
The petitioner submitted that the present case is blatantly political in nature; from the date the then government led by Charanjit Singh Channi assumed office, its functionaries were hell-bent on falsely implicating the petitioner in a case.
The High Court said there is no material placed on record showing possession, transportation, storing by or recovery of any contraband from the petitioner. All recoveries in the concluded trials had been effected from specific individuals and the petitioner was not shown therein to have any role in that regard, it added.
