The government’s reply came on a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by advocate HC Arora, seeking issuance of directions to the Punjab government to declare the hideout of revolutionaries led by Bhagat Singh as a protected monument.

The PIL was disposed of by the division bench of justice SK Mittal and justice Lisa Gill following the government’s submissions.
