A day after the Supreme Court enhanced Navjot Singh Sidhu’s punishment in a road rage case of 1988 to one year imprionment, the former cricketer and ex-Punjab Congress chief Friday sought more time to surrender.
Sidhu approached the court through senior advocate AM Singhvi, saying he had medical issues to settle.
The top court asked Sidhu to file a formal application for the same and mention the matter before the Chief Justice. “File a formal application and we will see,” the court said.
The Supreme Court, which had led off Sidhu with a fine of Rs 1,000 over the death of a 65-year-old man in a road rage case, directed him Thursday to undergo one year rigorous imprisonment in addition to the fine imposed.
