The
court had in October ordered Gurinder Singh Dhillon along with his wife
Shabnam, sons Gurkirat and Gurpreet and daughter-in-law Nayan Tara to
be personally present in the court on November 14, after Dhillon and his
family members had said that...
Radha Soami Satsang chief Gurinder Singh Dhillon
along with his family members have cited various reasons seeking
exemption from appearing before the Delhi High court on November 14.
The
Dhillons in their Interim applications (IAs) filed before the court
expressed their inability to appear before the court on the next date of
hearing. While RSSB chief Gurinder Singh Dhillon has said that he has
satsang commitments outside Delhi on that date and also he is a senior
citizen, diabetic and cancer patient, hence he will be unable to appear
before the court. His wife, Shabnam
Dhillon has said that she cannot appear due to a scheduled surgery in a
hospital in UK on November 20 for which she needs to travel on November
12. Their son Gurkirat has said that he has to accompany his mother for
the treatment.
While
their second son Gurpreet Dhillon has expressed that he is in Singapore
and has “critical work commitments” and is required to be personally
present. His wife Nayan Tara on the other hand said that she cannot
appear due to her four year old son’s medical condition, which needs
"continuous care and attention”.
The
court had in October ordered Dhillon along with his wife Shabnam, sons
Gurkirat and Gurpreet and daughter in law Nayan Tara to personally
present in the court on November 14, after Dhillon and his family
members had said that they did not owe any money to RHC Holding Pvt Ltd,
promoted by Malvinder and Shivinder Singh, following the court’s
direction to deposit the amount owed to RHC holdings pvt Ltd in
connection with the execution of Rs 3500 crore arbitration award won by
Japanese form Daiichi Sankyo against former Ranbaxy promoters.
In
his plea Dhillon had told the court that RHC Holding has made false
claims and they did not owe any money to RHC Holdings Pvt Ltd. The court
in its order then asked the Dhillons to “remain present in the court
with relevant documents related to their dealings and transactions with
the garnishees and their related companies.
The
Dhillons are among 55 individuals and entities ordered by the court to
pay over Rs 6000 crore owed to RHC holding in connection with the
settlement of a dispute to Daiichi Sankyo’s acquisition of Ranbaxy
laboratories.
The
court while hearing the applications on Friday asked the garnishees to
furnish their documents before the court. The requirement to appear
before the court still looms as the court will take up the matter on
November 14.
Justice
JR Midha in his earlier order had also stated that these entities
cannot “dispose of, alienate, encumber directly or indirectly, part with
the possession of any assets, except in the ordinary course of business
like payment of salary and statutory dues, till the next date of
hearing.”
According to an
affidavit filed by RHC Holding in April, entities including those
controlled by the RSSB chief, his family and close associates, owed over
Rs 6,000 crore to the company and other group entities of the Singh brothers.
Malvinder Singh, one of the directors of RHC, had maintained that
payment of an arbitration award related to Daiichi Sankyo’s acquisition
of Ranbaxy could be made only if the money owed was recovered.
