“It’s 100 per cent case of dismissal,” the Supreme Court said on Tuesday while hearing the second bail plea of suspended Punjab Police DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar who was arrested by the CBI in October last year in connection with a corruption case.
A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana posted the matter for hearing after four weeks, and also indicated that it would examine the bail plea after certain material witnesses had been examined. It granted Bhullar the liberty to approach the high court for bail if the trial in the case did not begin within two months. It alleged that Bhullar, who was posted as DIG of Ropar range, demanded illegal gratification through a private intermediary to secure favourable treatment in an FIR registered at Sirhind police station. Bhullar was arrested in the case. Later in January, a special CBI court in Chandigarh dismissed his plea seeking bail.
Bhullar has challenged the dismissal of his bail plea by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on August 10. On April 10, the top court refused to entertain his bail plea in the case.
A complaint was filed in October last year.
