High Court provides blanket bail to Amarinder

CHANDIGARH: In a major relief to former Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued directions to Punjab Police to issue seven days' notice if any wing wanted to arrest him in any case.

Justice S.D. Anand issued directions for granting a blanket bail on a petition filed by Capt Singh, who had alleged politics of vendetta being unleashed against him by the Akali-BJP government since it came to power and that false cases could be registered.

Capt Singh's petition stated that the SAD-BJP alliance did not seem to have any agenda except to unleash revenge against its political opponents.

The manner and method adopted by Punjab Police in arresting former DGP S.S. Virk, "ignoring all norms and rules of law, showed the work ing of a vindictive mind which could go to any extent to take - revenge by misusing the state machinery for involving opponents in false cases", Capt Singh contended in his petition.
