Chandigarh, September 16, 2026: The Gulzar Singh suicide case has reached the Punjab and Haryana High Court, with a petition seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the matter.
According to a report by Babushahi Network, the petition was listed before the High Court on Wednesday, with a bench led by Chief Justice Ashish Kumar Mishra scheduled to hear the matter.
Petition seeks CBI investigation
The petition seeks the transfer of the investigation into the Gulzar Singh suicide case to the CBI.
The development brings the case before the Punjab and Haryana High Court as the circumstances surrounding Gulzar Singh’s death are now the subject of proceedings before the court.
The specific grounds cited in the petition and the detailed allegations made by the petitioner will be considered during the judicial proceedings.
High Court hearing scheduled
The matter was scheduled to come up before the Chief Justice Ashish Kumar Mishra-led bench on September 16, according to the Babushahi report.
The court’s proceedings are expected to indicate how the petition seeking a central investigation is dealt with.
Case draws political attention
The Gulzar Singh case has also featured in Punjab’s political debate. Babushahi’s current-news listings show that a Punjab Congress protest related to the case was held in Chandigarh on September 15, with demands concerning the state government’s handling of the matter.
However, the High Court proceedings concerning the CBI inquiry are separate from political statements and will be determined through the judicial process.
What happens next
The High Court’s proceedings will be closely watched for the court’s response to the request for a CBI investigation.
Any directions issued by the court, including on the investigation or the status report from Punjab Police, will provide further clarity on the next stage of the case.
