Chandigarh Court Lifts Injunction Against Ex-Judge in Defamation Case Involving Punjab CM's Wife
A Chandigarh court vacated a September 8 injunction that barred former judge Ranjit Singh from making allegations against Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's wife, Gurpreet Kaur, regarding a ₹5 crore bribe demand linked to a rape accused. The court noted omissions in Kaur's suit and considered the bribe claim part of ongoing high court proceedings. The case also involves Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia and Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira, previously restrained by the order. The next hearing is scheduled for October 6.
