"SAME CASE IN INDIA BUT DIFFERENT SYSTEM OF JUSTIC? We have a case in sight. In 1981 Satnam Singh and Gajender Singh hijacked an Indian plane and took it to Lahore. The court in Lahore punished both of them. They spent 13 years in jail. Satnam Singh later on returned from Canada to India. He was presented before Miss Sangita Dhingra Sehgal, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Delhi, on 20 February 2000. The judge dismissed the case saying, “It was a common law that no one could be punished twice for the same offence”. The judge focussed on “same offence.” She did not ask under what circumstances was prosecution pursued against SatnamSingh in Pakistan and under what clauses was the case registered here in Delhi.
