A US-based Sikh group today said that it will challenge the decision of an American district court last week to dismiss alleged human rights violations case against Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
The Sikh for Justice (SFJ) had filed the case of alleged human rights violations against Mr Badal last year, but it was dismissed by a US district court in Wisconsin last Friday.
The group said it will appeal against the order in the US Court of Appeals asking for a remand to depose Mr Badal personally before a US Federal Judge on the issue of the service of summons
SFJ has retained the services of a top Chicago based law firm and famed Super Lawyers “Pavich Law Group” with Ian Levin, a former US federal judge, who have experience in cases related to human rights violations filed under Alien Tort Claims Act and Torture Victim Protection Act, the rights group said in a statement.
