COURT:

We think it fit to requests to direct the CJ of Punjab and Haryana HC to place it before another judge and dispose it in 2 weeks

Court is informed of a blanket protection granted by High Court to a former Punjab DGP

CJI Raman: This is an unprecedented order, such kind of order we don’t encourage. What is this order? Protection in Future cases also? This is shocking

Sr Adv Rohatgi: I appear on caveat, there’s 3.5 years delay. This officer was DGP in the State.

CJI Ramana: Whatever it may be, you can’t pass an order saying future cases also he can’t be arrested? What is this.

Rohatgi: I’ve got protection from this court on malafide attempts by the State
