Ravi Prakash case: HC adjourns matter to June 18

The judge considered various documents submitted by the



police in support of their claims. Counsel for the petitioner Diljit Singh Ahluwalia questioned the police with regards to their failure to invoke the arbitration clause in the share purchase agreement in what they contended was a purely commercial dispute between the parties. He submitted that the police should not use its might to mock the liberty of an individual and unnecessarily engineer criminal proceedings against the petitioner. 

Further, he argued that the authorities had themselves agreed that there existed a reasonable apprehension of arrest and urged the court to grant the petitioner anticipatory bail. The matter was adjourned to June 18 for further hearing.
