He argues that his presence is extremely necessary to raise crucial issues like the recent floods and other pressing matters in the state before the Parliament.
Run from Supreme Court to High Court
The Supreme Court had already been contacted by Amritpal Singh. He maintained that it is his fundamental prerogative as an MP to take part in House procedures. His plea was denied by the Supreme Court, which advised him to first make his case before the appropriate High Court. His attorneys then submitted a petition to the High Court in November.
The Punjab Government was instructed by the High Court during the most recent hearing to make a decision on Amritpal’s parole application within a week. Following this directive, the Punjab government categorically denied parole, citing intelligence inputs from the Amritsar SSP and Deputy Commissioner (DC). The assessment voiced concerns that Amritpal’s release may worsen the state’s peace and order situation and endanger national security.
Court Battle to Resume Today
Amritpal Singh’s attorneys have now appealed the government’s denial of parole to the High Court. Whether the Court intervenes in the government’s decision or permits Amritpal to attend the session, which is set to take place from December 1st to December 19th, will be decided during today’s hearing.
