The Punjab and Haryana High Court has said that Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, who is lodged at the Dibrugarh jail in Assam, will appear virtually in a trial court in Amritsar in the 2023 Ajnala police station attack case.The interim order by a Division Bench headed by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu came on a Punjab Government’s plea seeking directions to keep Amritpal in the Assam jail after his detention under the National Security Act (NSA) comes to an end on April 22.The high court observed that there are sufficient reasons for the court to be satisfied that exceptional circumstances of proximate danger of breach of public order exist, in case the respondent physically attends the trial court proceedings in Amritsar.Amritpal has been under NSA detention since April 2023. His detention, which was extended in April 2025, will come to an end on April 22, and the state government will not extend it further.
