Amid Satluj row, focus on strength of judiciary and role Justice Kuldip Singh played | Chandigarh News

Published by Parlour News

The ongoing debate over the ban on ‘Satluj’ — a film based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra — has put the spotlight on a story that extends far beyond its central character. It has brought into focus the intervention by the judiciary, particularly by Justice Kuldip Singh, whose landmark order transformed the disappearance of Khalra into one of the most consequential human rights investigations. Khalra was abducted from outside his Amritsar home on September 6, 1995, and murdered by Punjab Police personnel soon after he exposed the alleged illegal cremations of at least 2,097 “unclaimed” bodies in the district following suspected fake encounters during the militancy era. Within days of his disappearance, Khalra’s wife, Paramjit Kaur Khalra, moved the Supreme Court, while then Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Gurcharan Singh Tohra sent a telegram to Justice Kuldip Singh seeking immediate intervention. Even as Punjab Police denied knowledge of Khalra’s whereabouts, the Supreme Court widened the scope of the case. In a landmark order on November 15, 1995, a division …

4 min readJul 14, 2026 11:38 PM IST Former New Zealand captain and Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming is part of a nine-man shortlist to take over as England’s new Test team coach, a Daily Mail report said. The 53-year-old, who parted ways with the five-time IPL champions on Monday, has never coached in international cricket, but features in the list along with current Pakistan white-ball coach and fellow Kiwi Mike Hesson. Royal Challengers Bengaluru coach Andy Flower, who coached England between 2009 and 2014, is also part of the list. The report, however, stated that the Zimbabwean had told some of his friends he wasn’t sure about putting himself through the rigours of international coaching at the age of 58. RCB batting mentor Dinesh Karthik said that he would be very surprised if Flower took over the role, if offered. “In all seriousness, I think he’ll be a great candidate. He definitely should be one of the names considered, but I would be very surprised if he took it, considering where England are …
