Court rejects Daler’s plea
(No Ratings Yet)A court here today rejected the application of Punjabi pop singer Daler Mehndi seeking copies of some documents attached with the chargesheet in a cheating case in a particular language.
Junior Magistrate Rajvinder Singh rejected his plea and said that copies of documents could only be supplied to the accused as attached with the chargesheet. Daler was present in the court.
The court adjourned the case for January 15 for the arguments on an application seeking seizing of passport of the Punjabi Singer.
The counsel of complainant Gurpreet Singh Bhasin contended that the passport of Daler should be surrendered in the court as the passports of other accused were attached with court file.
Police had registered a case under various sections of the IPC and the Indian Passport Act on September 19, 2003 at the Sadar police station here on the complaint of Bakhshish Singh of Balbehra village against Daler and his brother Shamsher Mehndi.
In his complaint, Singh and 24 other complainants had blamed Daler and his brother for allegedly taking money on the promise of joining them in his troupe during foreign trips.
They alleged that the Mehndi brothers also failed to return their money to them and instead were threatened to keep quiet about the whole issue.
