Overview
- Justice Jasgurpreet Singh Puri directed the Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes not to obstruct or influence the police investigation into the FIR against Amrinder Singh Raja Warring.
- The order came as the High Court took up Warring’s petition challenging a commission notice he calls politically motivated and without legal foundation.
- Warring’s plea says the commission initiated proceedings without disclosing any complaint, documents, statements, recordings or other material, undermining his ability to respond.
- He also seeks to quash the commission’s November 3 directions that told election and returning officers to act against him and to banish him from Tarn Taran district.
- The case was re-listed to Justice Puri after Justice Suvir Sehgal recused a day earlier, and it stems from a November 4 FIR over alleged casteist remarks about the late Buta Singh.
