PO proceedings initiated against suspended SHO
SUICIDE BID BY HOME GUARD QUIZZED BY CBI
CHANDIGARH: Stating that she is deliberately absconding and concealing herself to evade arrest, a special CBI court has initiated proclaimed offender (PO) proceedings against suspended SHO Jaswinder Kaur, an accused in a Rs 5 lakh graft case.
“This court is fully satisfied that accused Jaswinder Kaur is intentionally and deliberately absconding and concealing herself with a view to evade her arrest despite having the knowledge of the proceedings initiated against her. Therefore proclamation proceedings are required to be initiated against her in the interest of fair justice,” said Sushil Kumar Garg, special judge, CBI, in Thursday’s order.
The court also ordered issuance of a proclamation warrant against Kaur, requiring her to appear before it at 11am on August 29.
The order came after CBI failed to arrest Kaur despite nonbailable warrants against her.
She was booked on June 29 on charges of seeking ₹5 lakh bribe from a Manimajra resident, Gurdeep Singh for not lodging an FIR of cheating and forgery.
As per CBI, Kaur was informed in person to join the investigation at CBI office on June 30 and she was again informed telephonically. However, she did not appear before CBI.
Both the district courts and the Punjab and Haryana high court have already dismissed her pleas for anticipatory bail.
