Criminal complaint filed against Sukhbir Badal

CHANDIGARH: A former judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Ranjit Singh, has filed a criminal complaint against former Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal for his utterances against the commission of inquiry he was heading for looking into the sacrilege cases in Punjab during the previous SAD-BJP regime. He has reportedly invoked the provisions of the Commissions of Inquiry Act for seeking action against Sukhbir. Section 10-A of the Act deals with penalty for acts calculated to bring the commission or any of its members into disrepute. If the plea is allowed, Sukhbir may face proceedings for simple imprisonment for up to six months, or fine, or both.
