On that account there is no chance, as of now, to bring him to Punjab on production warrant”. It is to be mentioned that Bishnoi is already on Delhi police production remand till June 5 in another case. publive-image The court, while giving its verdict, stated the petition filed by infamous gangster Bishnoi is "pre-mature and is non-maintainable, therefore stands dismissed".
