A lawsuit contesting the furlough granted by the Haryana government to Dera Sacha Sauda Sirsa chief before the Punjab Assembly elections was denied by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. According to the High Judge’s order, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is not a hardcore criminal as indicated in the petition. The detailed decision is yet to come.
Paramjit Singh Saholi, an independent candidate, challenged Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s furlough. In the Punjab Assembly elections, he contested. After hearing the arguments in the case, the Punjab and Haryana High Court reserved its decision on February 25. The judgement was handed down by Justice Raj Mohan Singh’s bench.
On February 27, Gurmeet Ram Rahim’s furlough came to an end. On February 7, a 21-day vacation was granted. Punjab held its assembly elections on February 20. He was then transferred to the Sunaria jail in Rohtak. During his vacation, he was staying at Namcharcha Ghar in Gurugram. It’s important noting that the Dera chief is currently serving a sentence for the sadhvis’ killings and rape. A case of neuter and sacrilege against 400 sadhus is proceeding in Dera Mukhi.
