The arguments of both the prosecution and defence on the bail application of former cabinet minister and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikramjeet Singh Majithia are complete and the district court is likely to pronounce its orders soon.

During the arguments, the prosecution, while replying to Majithia’s application, submitted the record regarding the case in the court. The court Thursday has directed the state to submit the record pertaining to the case.
