Jathedar Hawara’s Legal Team Working For His Transfer to Chandigarh

CHANDIGARH, Punjab—In reply to a query posed by Punjab & Haryana High Court pertaining to a petition moved by Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara seeking proceedings of trial of all cases in a single court, the Chandigarh administration has said that there was no case registered against Jathedar Hawara in Chandigarh. Notably, Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara is currently languishing in Tihar Jail of India’s national capital Delhi. He was appointed as a Jathedar (Head) of Supreme Sikh throne Sri Akal Takht Sahib by the Sarbat Khalsa 2015.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court had sought details of the cases registered against Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara from the Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh administration. The Chandigarh administration tendered its reply to the Court on March 9 while the Haryana government didn’t reply to Court. The High Court has again asked the Haryana government to provide detail of cases registered against Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara.

It has come to fore that the Punjab government has appealed the High Court bench to reject petition of Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara dubbing him as a ‘dreaded terrorist’.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court had suggested the legal counsels of Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara to move petition in Supreme Court as processing the cases of Delhi was not in jurisdiction of Punjab & Haryana High Court.     

Jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara had been held guilty of masterminding the assassination of former Chief Minister of Punjab Beant Singh. Initially, the trial Court had addressed death sentence to him but later the upper Court had commuted his death sentence.

Now, the legal counsels of Jathedar Hawara are working hard to get him transferred to Punjab and ensure his premature release at the earliest.
