Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) senior leader and former minister Bikram Singh Majithia has been granted bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday granted in a drug case.
A detailed order in the matter was yet to be released by the HC.
Meanwhile, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal while welcoming the stay on arrest of senior leader Bikram Singh Majithia by the high court today, said the party’s faith in the complete impartiality of the judiciary had been vindicated.
In a statement here, the party president said “the judiciary of our country is a bulwark against harassment and persecution. Whenever a law is wrongfully used for political purposes it is the judiciary which steps in to restore the dignity of the individual. This has happened today also”.
Badal said the SAD’s contention that the Congress government was following a policy of personal and political vendetta against the top SAD leadership had also been proved by the recent developments.
