Drug racket case: HC takes Punjab Govt to task, fixes Dec 9 as next date of hearing
Mohali: The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday took the Punjab Government to task on the drug racket case involving Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) MLA and former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court said it was astonished at the fact that why the Punjab Government did not take any action in the drug racket case at its level.

Notably, SAD MLA and former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia has approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court pleading that he be made a party in the Jagdish Bhola drug racket case as his image was being tarnished by his political opponents.
The application comes at a time when the High Court is likely to decide on the opening of reports lying in a sealed cover since 2018 "on the role of high-profile politicians and police officials".
