Chandigarh/ Ludhiana (August 26, 2014): According to information available with the Sikh Siyasat News (SSN), the Punjab and Haryana High Court has taken up the petition of Ludhiana resident S. Amrik Singh against discrepancies in implementation of premature release policy and extending undue benefits to police-black cat turned cop Gurmeet Pinky. The High Court has fixed 4 November as next date of hearing in this matter.
Gurmeet Pinky was prematurely released in May 2014 by the Punjab government after granting him extensive remissions. Gurmeet Pinly was serving imprisonment for life for murdering S. Amrik Singh’s only Avtar Singh Gola in 2001.
Amrik Singh in his petition has maintained that Punjab government has violated it’s own policy for premature release of life convicts while granting extensive remissions to Gurmeet Pinky.
