Bibi Jagir Kaur's anticipatory bail plea dismissed 
WSN Network

Ropar: Ropar Sessions Judge Rekha Mittal on Tuesday dismissed the anticipatory bail application of former SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur, against whom Anandpur Sahib Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate Jatinder Kaur had issued non-bailable arrest warrants for her failure to appear in court in connection with a case registered against her and 11 other Akali leaders for violating prohibitory orders.

The court passed the orders after hearing the arguments of Public Prosecutor Pradeep Mehta and defence counsels on the anticipatory bail application filed by Bibi Jagir Kaur a few days back.

The defence counsels had argued that Bibi Jagir Kaur could not appear in the Anandpur Sahib court on the date of hearing of the case against her unintentionally and had noted down the wrong dates of hearing.

On the other hand, Public Prosecutor Pradeep Mehta opposed the bail plea of Bibi Jagir Kaur, saying she had not even submitted any request for exemption from personal appearance in the court on July 2 and September 15.

Bibi Jagir Kaur and other Akali workers had been booked under Section 188 of IPC for violating the orders issued under Section 144 of CrPC by leading a "jatha" of Akali workers from Anandpur Sahib to Rupnagar district courts where Badal was to appear in connection with a disproportionate assets case against him and others on December 1, 2003.
