Take Sanjay Singh to Parliament for oath, court tells jail officials

Earlier, a Delhi court had ordered the Tihar Jail authorities to take Sanjay Singh to Parliament on Tuesday to enable him to take oath. Special judge M.K. Nagpal also directed the jail superintendent to make adequate security arrangements for Singh’s visit to Parliament.

"The Jail Superintendent concerned is directed to ensure that the accused is taken to Parliament on 19.03.2024 under adequate security for the purpose of making and subscribing of oath as a Member and after the oath, he is also brought back to the jail safely," the judge said.

Sanjay Singh, an MP, was suspended from the Rajya Sabha last year. However, he was re-elected later in January this year. Singh was elected along with former Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal, and chartered accountant Narain Das Gupta. While Singh and ND Gupta are sitting Rajya Sabha MPs and were re-elected, Maliwal was elected to the Rajya Sabha for the first time.
