‘If the Jail Term Was Two Years or More…’: What’s Next For Navjot Sidhu After Road Rage Case Verdict

News 18  

Former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu would have been disqualified from contesting elections for six years if the Supreme Court imposed more than two years or more jail term on him, a legal expert said. Soon after the Supreme Court imposed a one-year jail term on him in a 1988 road rage case, legal expert and former Lok Sabha secretary general P D T Achary told PTI “If the sentence was two years or more, then he would have been disqualified from contesting elections for six years.” He made the observation by citing Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act-1951 which deals with disqualification. Though the apex court had in May 2018 held Sidhu guilty of the offence of “voluntarily causing hurt” to a 65-year-old man in the case, it spared him a jail term and imposed a fine of Rs 1,000. In the letter dated April 23, Chaudhary had also forwarded a detailed note of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring regarding Sidhu’s current activities.
