SC refuses to entertain Amritpal Singh's plea challenging his detention
The top court asked the high court to decide his plea within six weeks
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea filed by radical preacher and Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh challenging his detention under the National Security Act.
A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria asked Singh to approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court with his plea.
The top court asked the high court to decide his plea within six weeks.
Singh (32) – who won the Lok Sabha election from Khadoor Sahib as an independent candidate while being in jail -- heads the ‘Waris Punjab De’ outfit.
He is currently lodged in a prison in Assam’s Dibrugarh district for alleged offences under the National Security Act, 1980.
