Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal bids farewell | Chandigarh News

Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal retires from the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday, closing a chapter marked by firm independence and a strong sense of fairness. Appointed as an Additional Judge on September 25, 2014, after a distinguished legal career, he leaves behind a body of work that repeatedly placed the vulnerable at the centre of the law while holding state institutions to account. Through both his judgments and suo motu interventions, he shaped debates on police accountability, social justice and administrative fairness. His bench frequently examined the limits of executive power. In Gurdeep Singh Gill vs State of Punjab last year, the court stayed the controversial land pooling policy, observing that it appeared to bypass safeguards meant to protect landowners and communities. “The State proposes to take over tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the entire State of Punjab …without carrying out any Social Impact Assessment or Environmental Impact Assessment study,” he had remarked. Punjab withdrew the policy. In Tulsi Ram Mishra vs V.K. Janjua, the court set aside criminal …

Viyaah Kartaare Da Box Office Collection Day 4 ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Viyaah Kartaare Da, starring Gippy Grewal, Nimrat Khaira, and Deep Sehgal in key roles, had an underwhelming opening weekend at the Indian box office. After earning less than 2 crore in the first three days, all eyes were set on the film’s performance on the first Monday, day 4, and guess what? It has passed the Monday test.
