The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia, who has been booked under the NDPS Act.
Majithia’s counsel Asrhdeep Singh Cheema said the court of Justice Lisa Gill dismissed the anticipatory bail plea.
Cheema said, the high court was requested to extend the interim protection for seven days for moving the Supreme Court.
However, the counsel said the detailed order is awaited.
The court orders came following the hearing of arguments of both sides.
The court on January 10 had granted interim protection to Majithia from the arrest in the matter while directing him to join the investigation on January 12.
It had also imposed some conditions, including not leaving the country, on the Akali leader.
The court had extended the interim protection on January 18.
Majithia (46), who was booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act on December 20 last year, had moved the high court seeking anticipatory bail.
His anticipatory bail plea was rejected by a Mohali court on December 24.
