Majithia’s bail hearing in assets case adjourned to Monday

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has postponed the hearing in the disproportionate assets case against former Punjab minister and Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia. The proceedings, which continued for nearly an hour on Friday, were adjourned to Monday after the court heard arguments from both sides.

Majithia’s counsel argued that since a chargesheet has already been filed and the investigation remains incomplete, there is no justification for keeping his client in custody. The defence alleged that the state government is deliberately delaying the bail process by repeatedly seeking more time.

Majithia was arrested by the Vigilance Bureau on June 25 in connection with allegations of owning assets beyond his known sources of income. Investigators have claimed that his properties extend from Himachal Pradesh to Uttar Pradesh.
