Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh Granted One-Day Interim Bail to Attend Grandmother's Last Rites
Khadoor Sahib Member of Parliament Amritpal Singh, who is currently lodged in Assam's Dibrugarh jail, has been granted a major relief. A local court in Amritsar has approved a one-day interim bail to allow him to attend the last rites of his grandmother, Mata Charan Kaur.
Amritpal Singh's grandmother passed away on November 8. Following her demise, the family filed a petition in the Amritsar court seeking permission for him to participate in the cremation and other religious ceremonies.
Family Had Demanded Four Days of Bail The family had requested four days of interim bail from November 14 to November 17. However, the court granted bail for only one day. He is expected to arrive in Punjab tomorrow for the ceremonies. Amritpal’s lawyer, Karamveer Singh, confirmed the court's decision, adding that interim bail has also been granted to his other relatives currently in detention.
Family Withheld Cremation Following the death of Mata Charan Kaur, Amritpal Singh’s family had postponed the cremation. The family maintained a firm stance that the last rites would not be performed until Amritpal was granted interim bail, stating that attending his grandmother's cremation was his familial and humanitarian right.
Previous 10-Minute Video Call Controversy Earlier, when his grandmother was critically ill, the family had sought permission for a video call. The court had approved a 10-minute video call for Amritpal Singh to speak with her. However, his lawyers later alleged that the jail administration failed to arrange the call on time.
