It is noteworthy that after obtaining interim relief from the Supreme Court of India, Himachal Pradesh DGP Dr. Sanjay Kundu had applied to withdraw the decision of the Himachal Pradesh High Court to transfer him to any other post.

On December 26, orders were issued by the Himachal Pradesh High Court to remove Himachal Pradesh DGP Dr. Sanjay Kundu and Kangra District Police Administration SP Shalini Agnihotri from their current posts. Himachal Pradesh High Court had issued orders to the Himachal Pradesh Home Secretary to remove both the officers from important posts with immediate effect.
After that, Himachal Pradesh DGP Dr. Sanjay Kundu obtained interim relief from the Supreme Court of India and obtained a stay order on his transfers. Now the petition for cancellation of transfer of DGP Dr. Sanjay Kundu has once again been rejected by the Himachal Pradesh High Court.
The entire matter is being heard in the Himachal Pradesh High Court regarding the security of Palampur businessman Nishant Kumar Sharma and independent investigation of the entire matter.
While issuing an interim order, Himachal Pradesh High Court had already issued orders to provide proper security arrangements to Palampur businessman Nishant Kumar Sharma.
In the entire matter, Palampur businessman Nishant Kumar Sharma had also filed a petition in the Himachal Pradesh High Court to replace Kangra District Police Administration SP Shalini Agnihotri.
Palampur businessman Nishant Kumar Sharma had also made important allegations against Kangra District Police Administration SP Shalini Agnihotri of negligence in discharging all her duties in the entire matter.
