Dehradun: The high court has denied the request of retired IAS officer Harbans Singh Chugh for a stay on his arrest and the quashing of the FIR lodged against him in the murder case of Baba Tarsem Singh, the dera kar sewa chief of Nanakmatta Sahib. The single-judge bench of Justice Rakesh Thapliyal denied relief to Chugh during the hearing on Friday.
The FIR had implicated Chugh and his plea sought legal reprieve from arrest, arguing for the cancellation of the FIR.
The case pertains to the murder of Baba Tarsem Singh who was shot by unidentified assailants on a motorcycle at the gurdwara located in Udham Singh Nagar in March. Following the attack, Singh had succumbed to his injuries.
