Punjab MP Amritpal Singh granted one‑day bail to attend grandmother’s last rites

Punjab’s Lok Sabha MP Amritpal Singh was granted a one‑day bail by a district court to attend his grandmother’s last rites. The order allows the legislator to be released from custody for a single day, after which he must report back to the authorities. Singh, who is under investigation in a separate case, applied for the temporary relief citing family obligations. The bail underscores the judiciary’s discretion in balancing personal circumstances with ongoing legal proceedings, without revealing details of the underlying case.

The bail was conditioned on Singh’s cooperation with the investigation and his appearance before the court as required. His legal team said the brief release is solely for the funeral rites, after which the MP will resume compliance with court directives.

The development highlights procedural aspects of bail for public representatives, illustrating how personal matters are addressed within India’s legal framework.
