The court ordered that Singh must remain in police custody with high security throughout the three-hour duration of the event. This custody parole allows the imprisoned lawmaker to participate in the final rites for his grandmother.
Eight strict conditions imposed on Khadoor Sahib MP
The court imposed eight specific conditions on the interim bail. Singh cannot visit any location other than his native house in Jallupur Khera, Amritsar.
He is prohibited from speaking to the media or meeting anyone outside of his immediate family. The court further ordered that Singh must personally cover all expenses for his transportation, the police escort, and the trip to and from the prison.
He is forbidden from contacting any prosecution witnesses involved in his pending criminal cases. He must also refrain from engaging in any activity that could negatively impact the state's law and order.
Uncertainty remains over MP's attendance at November 14 ceremony
Legal counsel for Singh requested that the court shift the parole date to November 17.
Despite the court granting the one-day relief for November 14, there is uncertainty regarding whether Singh will arrive for his grandmother's cremation.
Court grants relief to associates Harjit and Sukhmandeep Singh
The court granted three days of interim bail to the uncle of Amritpal Singh, Harjit Singh, to attend the last rites. It also granted two days of interim bail to his associate, Sukhmandeep Singh, for the same purpose.
Amritpal Singh's legal history and incarceration since 2023
Amritpal Singh has been held at Dibrugarh Central Jail in Assam for over three-and-a-half years. He has been in jail for three years prior to this interim bail.
While incarcerated, he won election as an independent member of Parliament for the Khadoor Sahib seat during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Punjab Legislative Assembly consists of 117 members and was last constituted in March 2022, with Kultar Singh Sandhwan serving as speaker.
Procedural timeline leading to the bail decision
On November 12, 2026, the court adjourned the hearing on the interim bail plea after it sought a reply from the Punjab government. The court denied the request for the member of Parliament to attend the collection of his grandmother's ashes. However, the court allowed him to participate in ceremonies on November 15 and November 17 through video-conferencing.
