Supreme Court to Hear Majithia's Bail Plea
The Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear the bail plea of Bikram Singh Majithia, a leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).
He is accused of having more than Rs 540 crore in illegal wealth.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court had earlier dismissed his bail plea, stating that he might influence the investigation.
The High Court also mentioned that there is evidence of large amounts of unaccounted money in his bank accounts and suspicious financial transactions.
The Supreme Court will hear his appeal on January 19, 2026.
The High Court has directed the investigation to be completed within three months.
Majithia's lawyer argues that the case is politically motivated and that the same financial transactions were used in a previous case under the NDPS Act.
