“Case is being taken so lightly”
On August 28, the rapper was to stand before the court of law for the case hearing. However, citing poor health, Singh missed out on the hearing. This led for the Court to say that “No one is above law” and further adding that the court is surprised to see how “case is being taken so lightly”. The court questioned Singh’s lawyers on the fact that neither Singh appeared, nor they have filed his income affidavit and nor have they come prepared with arguments.
