Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh leaving the Supreme Court on Sept 9 after the result of his application for a High Court trial.The trial of Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh is set to begin on Oct 14 at the State Courts.
This was as Singh had not been truthful in his testimony while under oath, while Mr Faisal had refused to answer relevant questions that had been put to him, said the committee. This was later found to be untrue, with Ms Khan admitting to lying in Parliament and resigning from WP and as an MP in November 2021. She said she had been sexually assaulted herself, and had heard about the victim’s experience at a support group session.
An Attorney-General’s Chambers spokesman had earlier said that it would be seeking a fine for each of Singh’s charges if he is convicted, adding that this was based on the “evidence presently available and considering the totality of the circumstances”. Ahead of the trial, Singh had made a bid in August to have his case transferred from the State Courts to the High Court, citing the case of former transport minister S. Iswaran, which secured a transfer on grounds of strong public interest considerations.
