Col Pushpinder Baths Case was heard in the High Court Yesterday 03 April.Some very “Mysterious “ and rare things happened. 1. A person was caught tailing Mrs Bath from her residence to the Court,her photographs taken and messages exchanged….When he was nabbed he claimed to be from the MI ? Without the knowledge of the Family: Intriguing? 2. The dealing Judge of the Case was changed.The case was taken away from Justice Maudgil (Court Room 462) and handed over to Justice Brar (Court Room 464) ? The intent of doing so is for all to infer.I feel it is a clear cut manipulation. 3.Unfortunately the Judgement given fails to give justice to the Family and is a Big Sham where in the Chandigarh Police has been told to investigate the case and submit a report in Four months. No Police officer will decide against their own brethren. Secondly, change of the Judge came as a big shock and clearly indicates manipulation at the highest level. Giving four months to investigate .Imagine the investigation will take 4 Months and then the case will go on for years. So the story already has an end before it actually starts. 6. In all fairness and in the interest of fair play and natural justice.Three things should have happened. A. Handing over the case to the CBI. B. Investigation to be completed within a month and C. Transfer of SSP Patiala 7. Army though represented in the Court by a Serving Brig and a Maj, was found to be very passive and they did assert for a CBI Inquiry. 8. It has been over 20 Days since the incident took place, but till date not a Single Serving Officer’s wife has visited Mrs Bath to comfort her.This comes as a shock and is extremely painful

or should I say Heartbreaking The above developments in the High Court and the role of the serving fraternity are a big blow to the most respected institution of our country ie Indian Defense Services. A very sad day indeed.
