Punjab and Haryana High Court Upholds Security-Based Occupation of Chandigarh Government House by Beant Singh's Family
The Punjab and Haryana High Court rejected a plea challenging Tej Parkash Singh's continued occupation of a government house in Chandigarh, citing security concerns. The court noted the Chandigarh Administration's decision was based on threat perceptions and intelligence inputs, distinguishing this case from Supreme Court directives on government accommodation. The family, linked to former Chief Minister Beant Singh who was assassinated in 1995, reportedly faces ongoing threats from extremist groups, leading authorities to consider the house strategically important for their protection.
