Day after his arrest, HC dismisses as infructuous plea pertaining to Amritpal Singh

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday dismissed as infructuous a plea filed last month claiming that radical preacher Amritpal Singh was in the "illegal custody" of police, a day after his arrest in Punjab's Moga district.

Imaan Singh Khara, the legal advisor of Amritpal Singh and his outfit 'Waris Punjab De', had moved the habeas corpus plea on March 19, seeking the production of the preacher from alleged police custody.

In earlier court hearings, the state of Punjab had maintained that Amritpal Singh had neither been detained nor arrested. The court had even asked the petitioner to show evidence that the radical preacher was in illegal custody.
