Chandigarh, August 23
Former Inspector General of Police, Punjab, Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, on Monday filed an appeal before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging the order of a single judge quashing the inquiry into the 2015 Kotkapura firing case.
Issuing a notice of motion to the state of Punjab, the Division Bench of the High Court comprising Justice Augustine George Masih and Justice AK Verma fixed December 7 as the next date of hearing.
A single-judge Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court had in April quashed the probe by an SIT headed by Singh into the Kotkapura firing case and made strong observations against him. The Bench had directed the state to reconstitute the special investigation team without him. Singh had had put in his papers to quit the service soon after the order.
