CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday asked Gagandeep Singh , who is facing criminal cases for allegedly duping cricketer-turned-political leader Navjot Singh Sidhu’s wife, Navjot Kaur , to deposit his passport with the investigating officer upon arrival from Dubai.
The HC also clarified that if he arrives in the country and attends the mediation centre to settle his dispute with Navjot Kaur amicably, the police shall not arrest him to facilitate his participation in the mediation proceedings. Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya passed these orders while hearing a petition filed by the accused, Gagandeep Singh. During the hearing of the case on Monday, counsels representing Navjot Kaur and Gagandeep Singh informed the bench that the disputes between them could be settled by way of mediation, and for this purpose, the parties may be referred to the Mediation and Conciliation Centre of the Court.
The bench accepted their request and referred the matter for mediation. “Parties through their counsel are directed to appear before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre on August 12. In the meanwhile, the petitioner (Gagandeep Singh) will not be arrested to facilitate his participation in the mediation proceedings. He shall deposit his passport with the investigating officer on arriving in the country,” the HC ordered. As per the FIR, registered in October 2024 at Patiala, former MLA Navjot Kaur came into contact with Gagandeep Singh, alias Prince, who introduced himself as a partner of Ms Space Builders and Promoters and OTH Builders and Promoters, allegedly involved in real estate projects across Mohali and Zirakpur.
Gagandeep allegedly gave assurances of high returns while asking the complainant for investment in some real estate projects. On this, Navjot Kaur and her relatives allegedly invested around Rs 10.35 crores through bank transfers as well as cash into the real estate venture represented by Gagandeep. Later, the returns were delayed, and the cheques issued by Gagandeep to refund money were dishonoured. On Navjot Kaur’s complaint, an FIR was registered in Patiala. The accused approached the High Court for bail.
