Hearing on in case against Jagir Kaur
WSN Network

PATIALA: A local court here has been regularly hearing the case against Bibi Jagir Kaur in which she stands accused of killing her own daughter Harpreet Kaur in 2000. A Central Bureau of Investigation probe had held Bibi Jagir Kaur as the main accused.

Kamaljit -- who claims to have been engaged to Harpreet -- appeared in the court last week to complete his examination which continued on Friday. He had earlier appeared on April 29, 2009. Recording of Kamaljit's statement will continue on the next hearing. On Supreme Court directions to decide the case at the earliest possible, the Patiala court has fixed dates for the next five hearings -- February 5, 25 and 26, and March 13 and 25.

Kamaljit was shown the seizure memo prepared by the CBI, which included some greeting cards and slips of a Jalandhar maternity hospital, while prosecution counsel presented a video footage. Asked by defence counsels S.S. Kler and Satnam Singh, Kamaljit refused to accept he had ever submitted slips of a maternity hospital to the CBI. In the absence of a video cassette player, the video recording -- key evidence in the case -- could not be played. Kamaljit told the court he had clicked pictures of Harpreet's ring ceremony in a hotel, which was booked in advance, to keep as evidence. He also said he was never approached by Harpreet or her mother Bibi Jagir Kaur with a marriage proposal. All accused, Bibi Jagir Kaur, Dalbinder Kaur Dhesi and Paramjit Singh Raipur, were present in the court.
