The father of Lawrence Bishnoi approached the Supreme Court on Monday as his son was unable to get any legal assistance in Mansa, Punjab.
The father of Lawrence Bishnoi, the prime accused in Sidhu Moosewala murder case, approached the Supreme Court on Monday and said that his son is not getting any legal assistance in Mansa, Punjab.
He has also challenged the transit remand to Punjab. A vacation bench of Justices Suryakant and P B Pardiawala had said that Punjab Police should probe the matter since the murder took place there.
The plea was mentioned by Advocate Sangram Singh, who said that no one from the Bar Association was appearing for Bishnoi.
Expressing surprise, the bench said, "We have already said the Bar cannot say no to any criminal case. You should approach the high court there and seek legal redressal."
