A Punjab and Haryana High Court bench of Acting Chief Justice G.S. Sandhawalia and Justice Lapita Banerji constituted a committee headed by retired High Court judge Jaishree Thakur, assisted by ADGPs Parmod Ban (Punjab) and Amitabh Singh Dhillon (Haryana), to inquire into the death of Shubhkaran Singh. The Tribune reported that the bench said the investigation could not be entrusted solely to either state, and asked the committee to report on which police had jurisdiction, the cause of death, the weapon used and whether the force used was commensurate. Haryana challenged the judgment in the Supreme Court through a Special Leave Petition (SLP(C) Nos. 6950-6953/2024). [4][3][2][1]
