Chandigarh, February 7: In its fifth interim report submitted to Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh today, Justice Mehtab Singh Gill Commission of Inquiry has recommended cancellation of FIRs in 41 cases, taking the total number of vendetta cases to 258.
Among the cases in which action has been recommended in the latest report are FIRs against Vijay Sayal, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Gurdaspur, and Sikh preacher Baljit Singh Daduwal, both of which the commission described as culmination of vendetta resulting from their refusal to obey the diktats of former Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal and former Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia.
Sayal was falsely implicated in an FIR registered by the Vigilance Bureau, Faridkot, for challaning an Orbit Bus belonging to Sukhbir, who was also holding the portfolio of Home Department. In the case of Daduwal, the commission did not find anything seditious in his speech at a congregation held on November 10, 2015.
In the fifth report, which Justice Gill submitted to the CM at his official residence here, out of 159 complaints, 118 have been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction or for being without merit. Disclosing this here, a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office said Justice Gill had apprised the CM that as many as 41 complaints had been allowed in which action had been proposed mainly for cancellation of FIRs.
