Amritpal Singh's parole plea for grandmother's last rites to be heard today
An Amritsar court will today hear the parole petition filed by Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh to attend his grandmother's final rites.
Following the passing away of his grandmother Mata Charan Kaur, the parole application of Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha member Amritpal Singh to attend the final rituals will be heard in an Amritsar court today.
The legal team has sought parole for 10 to 12 days to perform religious ceremonies. Along with Amritpal Singh, parole applications have also been filed for his uncle Harjit Singh and brother Sukhmanjit Singh. All three are currently lodged in Dibrugarh Jail in Assam.
The petition was scheduled to be heard on November 11, but the matter was delayed as the concerned judge, Uprinder Singh, was on leave. According to High Court directions, the hearing of this case must take place before the judge presiding over the related case.
Amritpal Singh's grandmother Mata Charan Kaur (84) passed away on Sunday evening.
Earlier, Dakha MLA Manpreet Singh Ayali had also strongly objected to not granting immediate parole to Amritpal Singh for the final glimpse and cremation of his grandmother.
