Ranchi:
A Ranchi court Wednesday sentenced Jharkhand assembly speaker C.P.
Singh to one-month jail in a seven-year-old case related to a
protest against the central government's decision to dissolve the
Goa assembly in 2005.
Finding Singh guilty, the court of Judicial Magistrate Varun
Mishra awarded one month simple imprisonment to him. The Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) leader was later granted bail at Rs.5,000
surety.
Singh, who was then an MLA, had burnt an effigy of Congress
president Sonia Gandhi during the Shibu Soren regime (March 2-12,
2005). A case under Sections 188 (disobedience to order duly
promulgated by public servant) and 143 (unlawful assembly) of the
IPC was filed against him.
"We respect the court order and we will move higher court against
the judgment," the speaker told reporters here.
