The petitioner, advocate B S Chahar, has alleged that Selja, who was “instrumental in instigating leaders and members of the Balmiki community against Jat leaders in Mirchpur case”, tried to save herself from a litigation by pressurising the undertrials and forcing them to sign “blank and non judicial papers”.[4]
