In a written statement, leader of opposition (LOP) Harpal Singh Cheema claimed that a report in the drugs case was lying in a sealed cover in the high court, but the state government had not made efforts to get it opened. He said the state government should immediately file a writ petition in the Supreme Court for transferring the case to high court of another state. “The case has got delayed for a long time for one reason or another and the government should ensure that it is heard on a daily basis and a decision is given within a specified time,” he said.
