Justice Anish Dayal, while issuing the direction on May 2, reasoned that “it is essential to secure these properties since they seem to be of large value and will possibly help in shoring up the dues, amounting to around Rs 400 crore, which are owed to the petitioners.” Justice Dayal was dealing with a batch of contempt petitions, moved before the Delhi High Court from 2022, wherein the court had in 2023 recorded wilful disobedience on the part of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and the GHPS Society for failing to comply with court orders issued in 2021.

He was on his way home to Shahdara after attending a friend’s daughter’s birthday party in Govindpuram, near Ghaziabad.

In the passenger seat was a man in a red kurta and a white stole. Hours later, the man, 23-year-old Nitish Katara, would end up dead. And Ajay would go on to become a prime witness in the murder case. Ajay says the attempts on his life and …
