Punjab and Haryana High Court Grants Bail in Khalistan Referendum Case After Seven Years

The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to Sukhmandar Singh, accused in the Khalistan Referendum 2020 case, after over seven years of pre-trial detention deemed excessive. The court noted the accused's commitment not to engage in anti-India activities or exceed constitutional free speech limits. Allegations include promoting secessionist slogans and conspiracy related to arms procurement and violence, but the court found continued custody unnecessary given the evidence and prolonged detention.
