The Supreme Court will take up on February 25 the plea seeking review of its sentence to cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu in an over 32-year-old road rage case.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would consider on February 25 the plea seeking review of the sentence awarded by it to cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu in an over 32-year-old road rage case.
The matter came up for hearing before a bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and S K Kaul which posted it for hearing on February 25 in view of the letter circulated by Sidhu’s counsel seeking adjournment.
Senior advocate P Chidambaram, appearing for Sidhu, requested the bench to list the matter for hearing after February 23.
The bench said it would hear the matter on February 25.
Sidhu is presently the Punjab Congress President and voting in the state assembly election is scheduled for February 20.
