Majithia moves high court; alleges illegal arrest, ‘political vendetta’

Senior politician Bikram Singh Majithia has approached the high court, challenging what he claims to be an illegal arrest driven by political motives. The arrest, Majithia argues, is not just a legal misstep but a targeted act of 'political vendetta' aimed at discrediting him. His legal team submitted a detailed petition asserting that the charges lack substantive evidence and are part of a larger scheme to tarnish his reputation. In his submission, Majithia contends that the FIR filed against him is a baseless attempt to suppress political opposition. He emphasizes that the timing of the arrest coincides suspiciously with his increasing influence and activity within the political landscape. Majithia's legal counsel also highlighted procedural lapses in the arrest, suggesting that due process was not followed, further indicating the ulterior motives behind the action. The high court is expected to deliberate on the petition in the coming days, with political analysts closely monitoring the developments. The case has stirred significant debate across political circles, raising questions about the intersection of law and politics. As the legal proceedings unfold, the outcome could have broader implications for political dynamics and the use of legal instruments in political contests.
