CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has granted bail to former Khalistan Liberation Force chief Harminder Singh Mintoo. The high court bench of Justice Surinder Gupta also directed district and sessions judge, Jalandhar, to make sure the case trial is expedited and disposed of preferably within nine months. Mintoo's counsel stated that he was declared a proclaimed offender in February 2001 but was arrested in September 2014, and currently is in custody. He, along with five others, had escaped after 10 gunmen stormed the Nabha jail last November, but was re-arrested from a Delhi railway station the next day.
