Sikh Political prisoner, Devinderpal Singh Bhullar was on Monday acquitted in a 1992 Terrorists and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) case registered against him at the Batala Sadar police station.

Charges under section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code, Arms Act and the Explosives Act were also slapped on Bhullar in the case that pertains to an encounter after a police party was ambushed by a group of militants.

The designated TADA court of Surinder Singh which heard the case, dismissed the chargesheet filed by the Batala police and discharged Bhullar for want of evidence. The court accepted the plea of Bhullars counsel that there was no direct evidence to suggest his clients involvement and neither were there any witnesses in the case. The chargesheet was filed by police in February and the former militant was granted bail by the TADA court in March in the case.

The verdict by the designated TADA court will pave the way for Bhullar to apply for parole that was denied to him as he had not been acquitted in the Batala case.

Bhullar can now move an application before the government seeking parole. He has remained behind bars since his deportation to India in 1995 followed by his arrest in a blast case.

Bhullar had already sought parole after he was granted bail in the case on March 3 on surety bond of Rs 50,000.

Bhavandeep Singh Sidhu of the United Akali Dal and Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa Sangharsh Committee welcomed the verdict by the court. We expect Prof. Bhullar to be released from jail within a few days now, he said. This will allow Prof. Bhullar to apply for parole, however we hope that the 1993 case against him by Maninderjeet Bittu does not cause hurdles, he added.

Despite his acquittal in the TADA case, Bhullar will continue to remain under detention for his involvement in the September 1993 blast outside the headquarters of the All India Youth Congress (AIYC) in New Delhi, resulting in death of eight persons. He was sentenced to death by a Delhi court in the case. His plea for parole will be considered after he moves an application seeking the same.

Though the Supreme Court had upheld his death penalty but later it was commuted to life term on medical grounds. Bhullar is currently undergoing treatment at the Guru Nanak Dev Hospital here. He was not present in the TADA court that heard his bail application.

He was admitted to the psychiatry ward of the hospital on June 12 last year after he was transferred on medical grounds from a hospital in New Delhi. He had complained of depression and other psychological problems. He was under detention at the Tihar Jail and was subsequently shifted to a hospital on the directions of the Supreme Court which took note of his mental condition

This was the post I was looking for, so does this mean he will be discharged for good if his application for the other one is accepted? Has it even been applied for?

Why isn't this on any of the Sikhi media pages or newspapers?

Jailed for 26 Years, Sikh Political Prisoner Prof. Bhullar Awaits Formal Release Order To Be Issued by Kejriwal Led AAP Govt.

New Delhi: Sikh political prisoner Professor Davinderpal Singh Bhullar is awaiting a formal release order as all legal barriers in his release are removed. His release is ordered by the Union government of India which is endorsed by the Punjab government and local authorities. The only remaining formality remains is issuance of release order which is to be issued by the Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi.

It is notable that Prof. Davinderpal Singh Bhullar has been jailed since 1995. His permanent release was cleared by the Government of India in 2019 on the occasion of 550th Parkash Gurpurab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. As Prof. Bhullar was sentenced to imprisonment for life in a Delhi case; the Union government had asked the Delhi government to issue his release order. But the process of his release was halted when Maninder Bitta filed a writ petition in Supreme Court of India against Prof. Bhullar’s release. The petition was dismissed by SCI last week. 

Talking to the Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) Panjaab Lawyers’ Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur, counsel of Prof. Bhullar, said: “all legal barriers against Prof. Davinderpal Singh Bhullar’s permanent release are lifted now”.

“Central government of India and Punjab government has expressed their concurrence for release of Prof. Bhullar. Only formality left behind is issuance of formal release order by the Arvind Kejriwal led Delhi Government”, he added.

That article is gone. Good thing you posted it.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
