CHANDIGARH, MAY 18
The United States district court of Eastern district of Wisconsin has
dismissed the case filed by a New York based rights body ‘Sikhs for Justice’,
Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) led by Simranjeet Singh Mann and others against
the Punjab Chief Minister Mr Parkash Singh Badal. It may be recalled the case
was filed on August 8, 2012 when the Chief Minister was on visit to Wisconsin
to mourn the death of seven innocent Sikhs in a shootout tragedy.
Disclosing this here today a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s
office said that the hon’ble District Judge Lynn Adelman while pronouncing the
judgment on Friday at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin ordered to dismiss the petition filed by these organizations for
failure to effectuate service. The plaintiff had alleged that they had served
summons on Mr Badal on August 9, 2012 at Oak Creek High School during a
function organized by Department of Justice, US Government. On the contrary the
Chief Minister never visited that school on August 9, 2012 and was visiting the
State Fair George Watts Store and Bolter Store. The Hon,ble Judge while
accepting the Defendant’s (Mr Badal’s) motion to dismiss the suit observed
that, “There is mountain of evidence” produced by the defendant that he was not
anywhere near the school and summons were served on a wrong corner.
