The Supreme Court heard a petition seeking protection from arrest to former Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh. During this, the top court, while protecting Parambir Singh from arrest, has issued an order not to be arrested during the ongoing investigation. During the hearing, Parambir Singh’s lawyer told the court that Parambir Singh is in the country only, but his life is in danger, so he is hiding.
During the last hearing, the court had asked his lawyer that where is Singh, first tell it, then the court will hear. The bench said that we wonder what will happen to the common man in such a situation. While issuing the notice, the Supreme Court has asked the Maharashtra government and others to respond by December 6. The next hearing of the case in the Supreme Court will be held on December 6.
Parambir’s lawyer Puneet Bali told the bench of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul that Parambir is in the country. The bench asked how are you in danger from the Mumbai Police. Advocate Bali said in the court on behalf of Parambir Singh that there have been all the FIRs against me. I am in the country, but I am hiding because of the danger to my life. Advocate Bali on behalf of Parbir Singh said that I have taken a stand against the Home Minister of the state. In such a situation, the investigation of the case should be sent to the CBI.
