Contentions of the Petitioner: In his complaint, General Singh alleged that he was carrying out a cycle rally during his campaign and on the way, he wanted to pay tributes to Thikriwala, but the accused stopped him from garlanding the freedom fighter’s statue. In fact, the SAD nominee was publicly snubbed by Captain Amarjit, who had accused the former of using the statue of Thikriwala for political gains. After a verbal duel, General Singh put the garland on the outer boundary wall of monument.

Decision of the case: After losing elections, General Singh failed to join investigation. The police sent several reminders to him, but to no avail. Later, the police filed cancelation report in court, which also issued several summons, but he didn’t appear.

Conclusion: Due to the fact that General Singh failed to join the investigation even after the police sent several reminders to him, the FIR against Captain Amarjit Singh has been scrapped as even after issuing several summons to him he didn’t appear in court.
