SC Rejects Ex-MLA Chhoker’s Plea, Orders Immediate Surrender

The Supreme Court on Friday, July 11, 2025, dismissed the bail extension plea of former MLA Dharam Singh Chhoker, ordering him to surrender by July 12, 2025. Chhoker is embroiled in a high-profile money laundering case.

The apex court upheld the High Court’s earlier order setting the surrender deadline. Chhoker had previously alleged assault during his arrest, a claim that did not sway the Supreme Court’s decision.

The court’s decision brings to a close Chhoker’s attempts to delay his surrender. The development is likely to intensify scrutiny of his financial dealings and set a precedent for similar cases.

This verdict underscores the Supreme Court’s firm stance against financial crimes, sending a strong message to those attempting to circumvent the law. The case’s implications will undoubtedly be closely followed across the state’s political landscape.
