The HC, however, said that Singh is entitled to a “fair trial” and directed the trial court to “expedite” the trial in the present case once it commences.
Appearing for Singh, senior advocate Vikram Chaudhri argued that it was a case of rampant abuse of process of law. “It is not only important to protect my liberty, but also to set a precedent as to what is happening immediately after October 3 when the SC had given a milestone judgment in Pankaj Bansal’s case,” Chaudhari said.
