US court to hearing
human rights violation case
against Parkash
Singh Badal on January 29
JALANDHAR:
A US Federal Judge in Wisconsin has set an
evidentiary hearing for January 29 in the human rights violations case against
Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal. The hearing has been
granted by Judge Rudolph T. Randa pursuant to plaintiff
Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) December 14 motion to solve the basic jurisdictional
issues and to seek court's protection against the intimidation, threats and
abuse to the families of the plaintiffs in India by the agents of Badal.
Michael
Best, a law firm representing CM Badal have sought dismissal of the human
rights violation case due to lack of service based on the sworn statements of
Special Agents from Diplomatic Security Service of US Department of State claiming that
Badal was not present at Oak Creek High School on August 9, 2012 as claimed in
the plaintiffs' affidavit of service.
SFJ
legal advisor Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said that during evidentiary hearing,
plaintiffs will challenge CM Badal's claim that on August 9, he was at Boelter
Super Store in Milwaukee and was not
present at Oak Creek High School where a ceremony was being held in the memory
of the Sikh victims of Wisconsin Gurudwara shooting. "To refute Badal's
claim plaintiffs will present to the Federal court evidence and witnesses to
prove that on August 9, CM Badal was personally served by Christopher G.
Kratochvil, a professional process server from "State Processing Service
Inc." at Oak Creek High School, Wisconsin," he said.
Sikhs
For Justice (SFJ) have retained the "Pavich Law Group" which also
represents victims of Jewish Holocaust in an ongoing case before US Supreme Court.
According
to attorney "Judge Randa's order to hear the
victims of torture is a major step forward in seeking compensatory and punitive
damages against CM Badal for his role in
commanding and protecting a police force involved in continuous human rights
violations against Sikhs in the State of
Punjab"
The
lawsuit in the US Federal Court was filed under Alien Torts Claims Act and
Torture Victims Protection Act on the charges of custodial torture and
shielding the Police officers responsible for torture, extra judicial killings
and continuous human rights violations against several Sikhs in Punjab.
