Meanwhile, former local bodies minister Choudhary Jagjit Singh did not appear in the court today seeking exemption on medical grounds. His counsel submitted that Singh suffered from acute backache and was admitted at Dang Hospital in Jalandhar. However, special public prosecutor Miter Sen Goyal strongly opposed the plea and submitted that Singh should not be exempted for today. After hearing the arguments, the judge fixed February 18 for consideration of the application.
Prominent among those who appeared before the court included Capt Amarinder Singh’s son Raninder Singh, Raminder Singh Richi, former Additional Advocate General H S Sandhu, Infrastructure Professional Enterprise Managing Director Ashwajit Singh, former LIT Chief Engineer Manmohan Singh and Today Home officers Vinay Subhiki and Sunil Sharma.
Former Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, who is currently in Dubai, had already been granted exemption from personal appearance in the court for today. The court had also granted exemption from personal appearance of Today Homes Managing Director G K Gambhir, his family members and nephews Vikram and Yeshu Gambhir for today.
Sanjay Jetwani, Arun Nayar and Anil Narula, the three directors of Today Homes who have already been granted bail in the case by Punjab and Haryana High Court, recently appeared before it to furnish their bail bonds. The case would now come up for hearing on March 10, when documents would be scrutinised and notices to the remaining co-accused would be issued.
