AAP urges Justice (retd) Narang to recuse from probe in mining

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today urged Justice (Retd) J S Narang to recuse himself from the judicial probe into allegations of impropriety against Punjab Irrigation and Power Minister Rana Gurjit Singh in the multi- crore sand mining auctions.
AAP MLA Sukhpal Khaira in a statement said Justice (retd) Narang should withdraw from the judicial inquiry in view of his being counsel of Gurjit Singh's family.
"Amitjeet Singh Narang, son of Justice (retd) J S Narang is the counsel of Rana Prabhdeep Singh, nephew of Rana Gurjit Singh in CRM-M 12355 of 2017," Khaira said.
This clearly exposes the close relations and counsel- client arrangement between the families of Narang and the accused minister, Khaira alleged.

Punjab government had yesterday ordered setting up of a judicial commission to probe the allegations of impropriety against the minister in the multi-crore sand mining auctions held recently by the state government.
The one-man commission would include Justice (retd) Narang and submit the report within one month.
