The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ruled that Amritpal Singh, a radical Sikh leader and Member of Parliament for Khadoor Sahib, will remain in Dibrugarh jail, Assam, after his National Security Act (NSA) detention period ends on April 22, 2025. The court, led by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sanjiv Berry, found sufficient justification for this decision, citing the potential for public disorder if Singh were to physically attend trial proceedings in Amritsar. The Punjab government expressed concerns regarding security risks linked to Singh's radical activities and the possibility of violence, especially given his involvement in the 2023 Ajnala violence case. The court has allowed for virtual participation in trial proceedings to facilitate Singh's defense while ensuring public safety. Singh, who was arrested under the NSA in April 2023, has multiple criminal cases pending against him, including murder and offenses under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The court will revisit the matter on May 1, 2025, while the Punjab government must seek further permission for any additional arrests related to other cases.
