The parole hearing of MP Amritpal is scheduled for tomorrow, while the presiding judge is on leave today, delaying any immediate proceedings.
Amritpal, a sitting Member of Parliament, is slated to appear before the court for a parole hearing tomorrow. The hearing concerns his request for conditional release pending the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings.
The judge originally assigned to oversee the case is on official leave today, which means no hearing can be conducted until the judge returns or a substitute is appointed. Court officials have confirmed the schedule but did not provide further details on the expected timeline for a replacement.
Legal experts note that the postponement is procedural and does not affect the merits of the parole application. The matter remains under the jurisdiction of the local court in Amritsar, Punjab, where the case is being heard.
Stakeholders, including the MP’s party representatives, have been urged to await the court’s decision without speculation. The next hearing will proceed as per the court’s calendar once the judicial vacancy is addressed.
