Partap Singh Bajwa Reaches High Court: Do You Know What the Whole Matter Is?
The court is currently considering the alleged violence and altercations that occurred on December 4 during the Punjab Zila Parishad and Block Samiti nomination filing. Punjab’s Leader of the Opposition, Partap Singh Bajwa, visited the Punjab and Haryana High Court today, Friday.
He has submitted a petition about the prejudice, abuse of authority, and violence against Congress candidates that took place during the nomination process. The Honourable Chief Justice has approved the oral appeal due to the gravity of the case, and the hearing will now take place on Monday, December 8, 2025.
Demand for Extension of Nomination Period
Bajwa has asked the Court to extend the deadline for submitting nomination papers for candidates who were unable to do so because of the chaos and violence in a petition submitted through his attorney, Arshpreet Khadial.
Action Demanded Against Police Officials
The petition calls for severe punishment for police officers who allegedly followed orders from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and either failed to stop the violence or took a biased stance. Bajwa claims that the abuse of the government and police is stifling democracy.
Appeal to Appoint an Observer
Bajwa has also called for the establishment of a “Supervisor” or “Observer” to oversee the entire election process in order to guarantee free and fair elections. He thinks there is a good chance that elections will be rigged in the absence of unbiased oversight. Now, everyone’s attention is on Monday’s hearing.
