The Supreme Court, on Monday, refused to entertain a petition filed by radical preacher and Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, challenging his detention under the National Security Act.
A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria asked Amritpal to approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court with his plea. The apex court asked the high court to decide his plea within six weeks.
Amritpal, the chief of the 'Waris Punjab De' outfit, is currently lodged in Dibrugarh jail in Assam, along with nine associates, under the National Security Act. He had won the Lok Sabha election from Khadoor Sahib as an Independent candidate while in jail.
He is currently lodged in a prison in Assam’s Dibrugarh district for alleged offences under the National Security Act, 1980.
