Live: Pritam Singh to face Court of Three Judges as Law Society seeks to have him struck off
The Court of Three Judges will decide what disciplinary sanction, if any, should be imposed on Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh following his conviction for giving false evidence under oath.
On August 12, 2026, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann met with Governor Gulab Chand Kataria to request parole for Jagtar Singh Hawara, a convicted member of the banned terrorist group Babbar Khalsa. Hawara is serving a life sentence for the 1995 assassination of former Chief Minister Beant Singh. The Chief Minister appealed to the Governor to consider granting Hawara a 10-day parole on humanitarian grounds.
Mann emphasized that his ailing mother, who is currently semi-conscious, would be able to meet her son after 31 years of imprisonment if granted parole. The Chief Minister assured that the Punjab government would take full responsibility for maintaining law and order in the state if Hawara were granted parole. The matter is currently under consideration by the Governor, as the case is being heard in Delhi.
