Radhe Maa case: HC issues notice to Kapurthala SSP

Chandigarh : Acting on a contempt petition alleging that Kapurthala SSPSandeep Kumar is purposely not initiating action as “highly placed” political leaders are backing Radhe Maa, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today issued notice of motion to the officer. The notice by Justice Daya Chaudhary came on a petition filed by Surinder Mittal. He was seeking directions for initiating contempt proceedings against the officer for the alleged willful disobedience of order passed by the High Court on December 15, 2015. Radhe Maa, aka Sukhvinder Kaur, is a “spiritual leader” based in Borivali suburb of Mumbai. In his petition, Mittal alleged that it was clear that the respondent had intentionally violated the HCorder and made himself liable to be proceeded against under the contempt of court Act.
Mittal’s counsel had told the High Court in December 2015 that Sukhwinder Kaur by posing herself as an incarnation of a Hindu goddess had hurt his religious sentiments. His counsel KS Dadwal had added that the allegations mentioned in his complaint constituted cognisable offence, warranting an inquiry or registration of FIR.
