Jaipal Bhullar encounter: SC directs Punjab and Haryana High Court to hear gangster's father's plea for re-autopsy

A vacation bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and M R Shah also directed the Punjab government to make appropriate arrangement to preserve the body, which has been taken to Firozpur in Punjab from Kolkata. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had earlier declined the plea of Bhullar's father for conducting an autopsy of the body, saying that the matter is not under its jurisdiction as the encounter took place in Kolkata.
