Punjab PCC Chief and Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is contesting the assembly elections from the Amritsar seat, maybe in trouble in the 33-year-old road rage case. The Supreme Court heard the matter on Friday. The Supreme Court has issued notice to Sidhu on his plea seeking punishment of serious offense instead of simple injury, seeking his reply within two weeks. The victim's family has filed a petition seeking enhancement of punishment in the Rose Rage case for not a simple injury but a serious offense.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had decided only to decide whether Sidhu should be sentenced to jail or not, describing it as a case of simple injury. During the hearing in the Supreme Court on Friday, advocate Siddharth Luthra, on behalf of the petitioner's family, referred to the decisions in many old cases before the bench. He said there was no dispute over the road killing and its reason. He said that it is also clear from the post-mortem report that it is a case of murder and the injury was due to the attack and not the death due to a heart attack. The counsel for the petitioner sought further enhancement of the punishment to be awarded to the guilty.
At the same time, P Chidambaram on behalf of Navjot Singh Sidhu opposed the arguments of the petitioner. He accused the petitioner of giving a different direction to the matter. He said that this matter comes under section 323 of IPC. This incident is from 1998. In this, the court has sentenced the convict to one year in jail for causing minor injury. Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul said that the previous decisions that were taken. According to him, it is not just a case of minor injury but it falls in a special category and now you have to defend with those arguments. Instead of the entire decision, you have to put your answer on these arguments of punishment. In the present situation, we want to focus the hearing on this only. Justice Kaul said that we do not want to open Pandora's box.
Earlier, Navjot Singh Sidhu had filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court. In this, Sidhu demanded dismissal of the review petition against him. Sidhu has requested that he should not be given a jail sentence. It also said that there is no valid ground for reconsideration of the decision. They also argue that the e-weapon was not recovered, there was no old enmity and also more than 3 decades have passed since the incident.
