“I lost my son, but now the truth is in front of the people. However, we still apprehend pressure from the judge. I appeal to the government to relieve her (Chief Justice Sabina) of all her responsibilities  so that the culprit gets the punishment she deserves,” she added.

Sippy’s younger brother, Jippy Sidhu, said that they will soon meet the CJI and Union Law Minister and take up the issue with them.

If summoned, Kalyani’s mother will appear before CBI, says counsel Counsel for accused, Advocate Sartej Singh Narula, meanwhile, said that some relatives, including Kalyani Singh’s father had already been questioned by the CBI in the case. He stated that if summoned, Kalyani’s mother, Justice Sabina, too would appear before the agency. The CBI will have to take permission from the Chief Justice of India in order to Justice Sabina for questioning in the case.

“Our priority right now is getting bail for Kalyani, which is our next step,” said Narula.
