The Supreme Court on Thursday postponed the hearing of a bail petition filed by Punjab politician and Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia. During the proceedings, the government requested two weeks to file its response, prompting the court to set the next hearing for February 2.

Majithia, a prominent Akali Dal figure, was arrested on June 25 in connection with a case registered by the Vigilance Bureau. He faces allegations of acquiring assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.

The postponement means that the legal process regarding his bail will continue into next month, as authorities prepare their formal response to the court. The case has drawn significant attention in Punjab, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of public officials’ financial dealings.
