Chandigarh, July 3 - The Punjab and Haryana High Court has adjourned the hearing on the petition of senior Akali leader and former cabinet minister Bikram Singh Majithia challenging his 'illegal arrest and further remand by Vigilance' for a day. Majithia's petition will now be heard on July 4.
It is worth noting that the Vigilance Bureau had arrested Majithia from his residence in Amritsar in the drug money and disproportionate assets cases recently. The Vigilance Bureau has produced Majithia in the Mohali court and obtained a remand of first seven days and then four days. The Akali leader is now to be produced in the Mohali court again on July 6.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court adjourned the hearing for a day so that Majithia's lawyer can present the fresh remand orders issued in the case before the bench of Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya. 
Majithia has challenged his arrest and remand orders in the petition, calling them illegal. Majithia has termed the case registered against him as a result of political vendetta, the sole purpose of which is to defame and harass him. 
The petition was filed through Sartej Singh Narula, Damanbir Singh Sobti and Arshdeep Singh Cheema. Majithia said that the FIR registered at the Vigilance Bureau police station in Mohali on June 25 was “manifestly illegal” and the arrest made from his residence on the same day was a “gross violation of legal procedures”.
