She is 95, ailing, but ... Bhagat Singhs sister said that he would have not fought for India if had known his relatives would be killed by Indian forces.

CHANDIGARH: She is 95, ailing, but Parkash Kaur is

not ready to give up. The sister of Shaheed Bhagat Singh has moved a fresh

application before Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice T.S. Thakur

for expediting hearing of the case of alleged killing of her son-in-law

Kuljeet Singh Dhatt by five Punjab Police officials in Hoshiarpur district

in 1989.

The Canada-based Parkash Kaur, who is paralysed, has alleged that the state

is in favour of the guilty cops and hence the delay in justice. She has also

prayed for pronouncement of the judgment in the 12-year-old alleged

extra-judicial killing case that the High Court has kept reserved for more

than six years. Justice Satish Kumar Mittal on February 3, 2003 reserved the

judgment after hearing the arguments.

`KILLER' COPS

The cops indicted by a panel appointed by the Supreme Court on

the killing of Kuljeet included late SSP Ajit Singh Sandhu, who committed

suicide in May 1997, DSP Jaspal Singh, a lifer in Jaswant Singh Khalra's

murder case, Sardool Singh, Sita Ram and S.S. Basra.

Harbhajan Singh, elder brother of Kuljeet, who is contesting the case on

behalf of Parkash Kaur in India, said Jaspal Singh and the four other police

officials had moved the High Court in 1997, pleading that they could not be

prosecuted as the state government had not procured the requisite sanction

for it. Thereafter, the HC had stayed the prosecution proceedings against

them by the Hoshiarpur Sessions Court, he added.

Inquiries revealed that Kuljeet, 35, was picked up from Garhi village on

July 23, 1989, on suspicion of his having a hand in the murder of a sarpanch

of a nearby village. While Ajit Singh Sandhu was posted as Dasuya DSP,

Jaspal was SHO at the police station at that time.

BODY NOT RECOVERED

Initially the police denied that Kuljeet was picked up.

After Parkash Kaur took up the case with the high-ups, they admitted and

claimed that they had arrested Kuljeet but he escaped from custody on the

night of July 25. Till date the family of Kuljeet has not recovered his

body.

Failing to stir the state gov ernment into action, Parkash Kaur and Gurmit

Kaur, wife of the deceased, moved the Supreme Court on September 9, 1989.

The apex court appointed a commission under retired Justice H.L. Randev in

1990. The panel submitted its report in 1993, indicting Sandhu, Jaspal,

Sardool, Sita Ram and Basra.

The indicted cops raised objections against the findings of the inquiry

commission but admitted that Kuljeet was taken into custody. Taking note of

the lax attitude of the state government, the SC had directed the state to

suspend the cops and lodge FIRs against them. Under pressure, the Punjab

government appointed then DIG J.P. Birdi, currently posted as ADGP (Law and

Order), as inquiry officer. Birdi after much dilly-dallying booked the five

police officers for abduction under Section 365 of the IPC.

COURT RAP FOR POLICE

The then chief Justice of Supreme Court, Justice A.S.

Anand, pulled up Birdi for being biased in favour of the police officers and

not imposing the requisite sections of the IPC. Birdi amended the FIR and

invoked Section 364 of the IPC (abduction with motive of murder). Sections

498 and 120-B of the IPC were also slapped. The SC subsequently ordered the

arrest of the five accused.

Parkash Kaur had to even knock at the doors of the apex court for directions

to the HC to expedite the matter. "The SC told us to go back to the HC for

the decision. However, it has been nearly 12 years and the HC has not

pronounced the decision. I am now thinking of moving another application

pleading for the closure of the case before I pass away," said Parkash Kaur.

ONE DEAD, 2 LIFERS

Of the five cops accused in Kuljeet Singh Dhatt's

"extrajudicial killing" case, while Ajit Singh Sandhu had committed suicide

in May 1997, Jaspal Singh and Sita Ram are undergoing life imprisonment in

separate cases.

While one prime eyewitness Piara Singh has already died, the other two

-Gurmail Singh and Gurmit Singh -- are over 80 years old and not keeping

good health.

Bhagat Singh's sister still awaits justice

PARKASH KAUR moves fresh plea before HC to expedite hearing in killing

of son-in-law case, pending for 12 years. The state is in favour of the guilty cops and hence the delay in justice.
