Rs 5-crore bribery demand case | Court lifts interim restraint on retired HC judge from publishing or sharing material
The Chandigarh district court has lifted an interim restraint on retired Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Justice Ranjit Singh. The court lifted the order that prohibited him from publishing or sharing material related to an alleged Rs 5 crore bribery demand. This decision was made after Justice Singh argued that the court had not presented the complete context of his remarks.
The restraint had been imposed on Justice Singh, SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia, and Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira on September 8. The court observed that a person approaching the court must come with "clean hands." The case stems from Gurpreet Kaur's allegations of an alleged Rs 5 crore bribe demand by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's wife to secure the release of an accused in a rape case.
