The United States district court of Eastern district of Wisconsin has dismissed the case filed by a New York-based rights body 'Sikhs for Justice', Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) led by Simranjeet Singh Mann and others against Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
The case was filed on August 8, last year when the CM was on a visit to Wisconsin to mourn the death of seven innocent Sikhs in a shootout tragedy.
A spokesperson of the Chief Minister's Office said that District Judge lynn Adelman while pronouncing the judgement on Friday at Milwaukee, Wisconsin ordered to dismiss the petition filed by these organisations for failure to effectuate service.
The plaintiff had alleged that they had served summons on Badal on August 9, 2012 at Oak Creek High School during a function organised by Department of Justice, US Government. On the contrary the CM never visited that school on August 9, 2012 and was visiting the State Fair George Watts Store and Bolter Store.
The Judge while accepting Badal's motion to dismiss the suit observed that, "There is mountain of evidence" produced by the defendant that he was not anywhere near the school and summons were served on a wrong corner.
