The judge adjourned the hearing for two weeks. Qureshi said the Punjab police legal affairs office had records from 1895 to 1928. But the police did not give him the FIR registered in 1928 when the SSP was killed.
He said special judges of tribunal handling Singh's case awarded death sentence to him without hearing 450 witnesses in the case. Singh's lawyers were not given the opportunity of cross-question them.
Qureshi has also filed a petition in the Lahore high court seeking reopening of the Singh's case. "I want to establish his innocence in the murder case," he said.
The Lahore high court has referred the case to the chief justice for constitution of larger bench.
In March 1931, following his trial for involvement in the 'Lahore conspiracy case', the British government hanged Singh at Shadman Chowk, aged 23.
