Mohali : Former Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Saturday again failed to attend the court proceedings in the Amritsar Improvement Trust land scam case here.
When the court was about to issue non-bailable arrest warrants against Amarinder in the last hearing on January 2, his defence counsel Ramdeep Singh had assured the court that the Punjab Congress Committee president would attend the next (today’s) hearing.
Ramdeep Singh today told the court that his client had gone to Jaipur to attend the Congress’ ‘Chintan Shivir’.
On the other hand, other accused in the case, including former minister Chaudhary Jagjit Singh and Jugal Kishore Sharma, former chairman of Amritsar Improvement Trust, were present along with their counsels.
The court adjourned the case to February 16.
