The district court had taken a turn back to normalcy in November 2020 by allowing entry to litigants and witnesses, whose physical entry is required, and their counsels.

It was submitted that in 2008, 21 posts of ASJ under the Punjab Superior Judicial Service against quota of direct recruitment were advertised.

Speaking to reporters, Nodeep Kaur claimed she had not violated any law and would continue to peacefully protest for the rights of farmers, labourers and women.

The petitioners, Arwinder Singh and Surjit Singh, moved HC for grant of suspension of sentence in connection with the FIR dated May 24, 2016.

The police also submitted that Nodeep Kaur made a "proactive speech" stating that they would "attack police", before her arrest.

The HC passed the order while hearing the petition of HDFC Ergo General Insurance Company Limited.

Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan president Shiv Kumar was arrested on January 16, four days after co-accused Nodeep Kaur was picked up.

Nodeep Kaur, a member of the Majdoor Adhikar Sangathan, is facing three cases, including charges of attempt to murder and extortion. In her bail plea, she has claimed she was severely beaten up at a police station after her arrest.

Kaur was arrested for allegedly gheraoing an industrial unit and demanding money from the Sonipat-based company, according to the Haryana Police.

A case was lodged for use of unfair means in the examination against the law student. After inquiry, she was disqualified from appearing in any university examination for a period of two years from December 2019 to May 2021.

The petitioner sought quashing of FIR registered under Section 188 of the IPC against them at Sector 7 police station in Faridabad, on the ground that there was no ban on solemnisation of marriages and no permission was required for the same during lockdown.

The bench of Justice Tyagi, passed the order, while hearing the anticipatory bail plea of an accused, Gurwinder Singh of Patiala, facing charges for allegedly cheating several banks with the help of some government and bank officials, by mortgaging a land in favour of banks, which he previously owned.

The two accused included a former Punjab and Sind bank official, guilty in a graft case, which led to a loss of Rs 3.5 crore to the bank in 2013.

The petitioners have argued that the Dera chief is a godly figure and convicting him as part of a conspiracy is like hurting religious sentiments.

The bench stated that merely because the petitioners have got married against the wishes of their family members, they cannot possibly be deprived of the fundamental rights as envisaged in the Constitution.

In his petition, IAS officer Ravi Prakash Gupta had contended that he is physically handicapped (100 per cent visually impaired).

Protection plea as couple not maintainable, says HC. Can approach police for help as individuals if they apprehend any threat, says bench.

Ashwani Chopra, the sole proprietor of AAA Apparels, covered under the Employees Provident Funds Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, had failed to deposit the employees share of the PF contribution as is required under the law. He has been booked under sections 406 and 409 of the IPC.

The accused had approached the High Court challenging the order of trial court of Faridabad dated November 23, 2020, wherein revision by petitioners seeking re-investigation of case and claiming unfair investigation by Haryana Police, was dismissed.

“The Court of Hon’ble the Chief Justice shall be boycotted until the complete opening of physical courts or until his transfer,” the resolution read.

As per records on the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG), there are a total of 6,46,501 cases pending at Punjab and Haryana High Court, against 5,28,340 pending cases last year.

The accused -- Vijay Kumar and his wife Darshna Rani, have been booked at PS Ahmedgarh, Sangrur, on the complaint of farmers including Baljeet Singh Tiwana and others from village Lassoi.

Considering the seriousness of the allegations and “this being a case where custodial interrogation would be necessary to recover the material available with the petitioner” against the woman, the HC dismissed the plea for anticipatory bail.

The order has been passed by the bench of Justice Harsimran Singh Sethi, while hearing the plea of a Punjab Police official, Raghbir Singh.
