But the relief from the high court would not free him from the central jail, Amritsar, where he has been confined, since there are some other cases registered against him which are pending trial.
The case came up for hearing before the court headed by justice Inderjit Singh on Thursday. Bittu had submitted that it was due to political vendetta that he had been falsely implicated in the case.
