‘Your evidence is incredible’: Prosecution seeks to show Pritam Singh’s ‘level of honesty and candor’

THE DISPUTES REGARDING THE APPEARANCE OF M.S.KHAN ON OCTOBER 3 HAS BEEN RESOLVED

Mr Ang, senior counsel, asked Singh a series of questions in which he suggested he had been dishonest in his answers.

He mentioned Singh meeting Ms Khan on October 3, 2021 – the day before she repeated her lies in Parliament.

Mr Singh had earlier revealed that he had told Ms Khan to take responsibility and responsibility if the issue came up in Parliament, meaning she would have to tell the truth.

“Followed by: ‘I wouldn’t judge you’? Right?” Mr Ang took the matter to court, to which Singh agreed.

Singh also agreed that Ms Khan seemed relieved and understood what Singh had said.

Mr Ang then referred Singh to an email he sent to WP MPs on October 1, 2021, where he spoke about the importance of justifying what was said in Parliament or risk facing the SC.

Mr Ang noted that Ms Han was likely aware that she might be sent to the CC and expressed disbelief that Ms Han would feel relieved in such a context.

“The October 1 letter was still fresh in her mind,” Mr Ang said, and Singh agreed.

“You tell her to tell the truth, and tomorrow she will confess… She knows she is going to be a police officer, so she looks noticeably relieved? “Thank God, I’m going to the police”? exclaimed Mr. Ang.

Singh disagreed, noting that Mr Ang had overlooked what happened after Singh told Ms Khan to take charge and responsibility.

“She looked awkward, (and) in that context I told her, ‘I won’t judge you.’ After I said that, she looked a little relieved. I took this to understand that she understands what I am talking about,” Singh said.

Looking incredulous, Mr Ang asked: “You want us to believe that you essentially asked her to admit a lie, to subject herself to trial, and she felt visibly relieved? Is this your evidence?

Singh said that was exactly what Mr Ang was talking about.

Mr. Ang then continued, “Isn’t it true, Mr. Singh, that you told her, “Go ahead with the story, I won’t judge you,” and she felt relieved because then she knew that she didn’t have to confess in lies. parliament, and she was not exposed and (or) sent to the Constitutional Court, isn’t that true?”

Singh denied this.

Asked by Deputy Chief District Judge Luke Tan to clarify what he meant by “I won’t judge you”, Singh replied: “She lied and one tends to form a negative opinion about people who lie… (but) if (G (Ms. Khan clarifies) the issue by telling the truth, I would not judge (her) for lying.”

“You mean you won’t have a negative opinion of her?” Judge Tan asked. Singh agreed to this.
