Four chargesheeted for injuring Major

The SDJM has directed that all the accused shall be tried and punished by the trial court for the offences. Major retd Harmohinder Singh, who is also a secretary of the World Human Rights Protection Council, had filed a complaint through his counsel that his wife Ranjit Kaur, along with Kulwant Singh, Jasbir Singh and Baljit Singh, had threatened him with taking forcible possession of his house and eliminating him.

He contended that through a temporary injunction, all the accused had been restrained. But, paying no respect to the court orders, the accused, in connivance with the then SHO of the Phase VIII police station,beat up Harmohinder Singh, his widowed mother and Surinder Singh. They were thrown out of their house and kept in illegal custody on the night of October 12, 1993, he added.

Meanwhile, while dismissing the revision petition filed by the accused, Roopnagar District and Sessions Judge Maghar Khan accepted the revision petition filed by the complainant and directed the trial court to add the offence under Section 452 and to proceed with the case according to law.
