High Court Rejects Giribala Singh's Bail Plea In Twisha Sharma Death Case, Cites CCTV Footage And Pending CBI Probe In Jabalpur

Jaipur: Authorities have discovered a forged bail order uploaded to the Rajasthan High Court's official website, prompting a probe into the security of the court's digital infrastructure. The fraudulent order purportedly granted bail to Kalwinder Singh Panesar, a man accused of opium smuggling. The fake order was detected on October 26, eight days after its unauthorized posting.

Rajasthan High Court officials immediately worked to remove the order and reported the incident to the Chief Justice. The matter was referred to the Kudi Bhagtasni police station in Jodhpur, where a formal complaint was lodged.

Panesar, from Moga City in Punjab, was apprehended in Rajiasar police station area in Rajasthan after law enforcement recovered 8.61 kg of opium. The fake bail order was posted on the Rajasthan High Court's website on October 26 but was only uncovered eight days later. Superintendent of Police Anshuman Bhomia stated that an FIR had been recorded and an investigation was underway, adding, "Those involved in the criminal conspiracy will be identified and appropriate action will be taken."

Suspicion arose regarding the authenticity of the order, as the judge listed in the document was presiding over a division bench on the relevant date but did not issue any bail order. Additionally, the case number associated with the fabricated order does not correspond to any active bail petition at the High Court. This incident has raised concerns about the security of Rajasthan High Court's digital infrastructure, with Police investigating potential breaches of the court's server or website and how the forged document appeared on the official platform.

Two additional orders uploaded on October 12 and October 15 may also be examined as part of the investigation. High Court Registrar (Judicial) Narendra Kumar confirmed that the matter is under investigation, with police exploring the possibility of individuals conspiring to create and upload the forged order.
