Amritsar, November 13, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
A local court in Amritsar has granted one-day interim bail to Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh for November 14 to enable him to attend the cremation of his grandmother, Charan Kaur, who recently passed away.
However, his lawyers have indicated that they will approach the court again to seek a change in the date, as bringing Amritpal Singh from Assam’s Dibrugarh Jail to Punjab by November 14 may not be feasible.
Advocate Karamvir Singh, speaking to the media, said that while Amritpal Singh had been granted interim bail for one day, his paternal uncle Harjeet Singh had been granted three days’ bail and another relative, Sukhman Singh, had been granted two days’ bail.
He said the legal team was awaiting the detailed written order of the court before moving an amendment application.
According to Karamvir Singh, the lawyers intend to request that the date be changed to November 17, 2026, so that the cremation can be held on that day in the presence of Amritpal Singh.
Another lawyer representing Amritpal Singh, Advocate Imaan Singh Khara, said they were awaiting the detailed court order, particularly as the family would have to bear the expenses of transporting the MP from Dibrugarh Jail to his native village in Punjab and back.
The family had earlier stated that Charan Kaur’s body would not be cremated until Amritpal Singh was granted bail to attend his grandmother’s last rites.
The court’s decision has provided interim relief, but the practical arrangements for his travel remain uncertain.
It remains to be seen whether the one-day bail period would be sufficient to facilitate his transportation from Dibrugarh Jail to Punjab, his participation in the cremation and his subsequent return to custody.
If the visit takes place, it would be Amritpal Singh’s first journey to Punjab since his arrest and subsequent detention in Assam’s Dibrugarh Jail.
The detailed written order, which is awaited, is expected to clarify the conditions attached to the interim bail, including any restrictions and arrangements relating to his movement and custody.
