The court of Principal District and Sessions Judge Motish Kumar Singh heard arguments from both sides before rejecting the plea. Osama Shahab had requested anticipatory bail to avoid arrest after a case was filed against him. His lawyer said the MLA was innocent and falsely implicated in the dispute. However, the prosecution opposed the request and called the allegations serious.

According to the complaint, a doctor couple accused Shahab and others of trying to stop construction work on their land in Siwan’s Jhunapur area. They also alleged that workers were threatened and assaulted during the incident.

Police registered an FIR on April 15 naming four people and several unidentified individuals. Authorities are continuing the investigation.

The government served an eviction notice to his wife, Simranjit Kaur, on September 2, accusing misuse of the residence for political gatherings. The house was allotted on October 20, 2022. Simranjit moved court citing health reasons, and her petition will be heard on Friday. Officials noted large-scale political meetings at the quarter, inconvenience to neighbours, and failure to submit rent receipts. The notice warned of cancellation under Punjab Government House Allotment Rules, 1983.

Advocate BS Bhullar, representing Simranjit, dismissed the charges as politically motivated. He said occasional visits by constituents cannot be termed misuse and argued that eviction without a proper 30-day notice would be unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, Pathanmajra fled from Karnal as police attempted to arrest him on September 2. His anticipatory bail plea was rejected on September 10. On Thursday, a local court granted bail to 10 of his 11 aides who were arrested for harbouring him.

Police registered a case against Pathanmajra on September 1 following a complaint by a Zirakpur woman. She alleged that the MLA misrepresented himself as divorced, entered into a relationship, and later married her in 2021 while already married. She further accused him of sexual exploitation, threats, and sending obscene content.

Pathanmajra, a first-time MLA from Sanour, has been absconding since September 2. He escaped during a police operation in Karnal, Haryana, where his supporters allegedly hurled stones and fired gunshots to prevent his arrest.

The MLA, however, denied police claims in a video message, alleging that there was a plan to kill him in a “fake encounter.” Police sources said multiple raids have been conducted across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, but he remains at large.
