The Supreme Court on Friday reserved its verdict on a plea to review its judgment letting off Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu with a fine of ₹1,000 in a 34-year-old fatal road rage case.
As the Special Bench of Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and Sanjay Kishan Kaul wrapped up the hearing, senior advocate A.M. Singhvi, for the cricketer-turned-politician, questioned the “activation” of the case in the Supreme Court shortly before the crucial Punjab Assembly elections.
“Why was this activated? This was suddenly listed before the elections... Don’t know why this case was activated, and now the elections are over,” Mr. Singhvi remarked.
