Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal retires from the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday, closing a chapter marked by firm independence and a strong sense of fairness. Justice Grewal also questioned lapses surrounding the killing of a kabaddi promoter in Mohali. Justice Grewal urged the creditor to pause the auction and explore relief through its corporate social responsibility programme. With no clear statutory framework for such situations involving adults in a vegetative state, Justice Grewal invoked the court’s protective jurisdiction and appointed her as guardian after medical verification. Prioritising the welfare of the child and international child-rights principles, Justice Grewal declared the father the child’s legal guardian.
