In the month of October, 2024, elections were held for the Sarpanch post wherein my father Balwinder Singh intended to fill his nomination form to contest for Sarpanch elections, however, the representatives of the opposite parties were not letting my father Balwinder Singh to fill the nomination form by levelling false allegation upon regarding usurping 21 kanal land at Village: Maidewas. And as such, we had approached the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court and had engaged Ankush Dhanerwal as our Advocate in & Rs.4,50,000/-. The said advocate had filed CWP No.

30383 of 2024 before the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court whereafter, the Hon'ble Punjab and High Court had passed an order in our favour to the extent that my father Balwinder Singh can file his nomination form for contesting Sarpanch elections. Thereafter on 03/10/2024, we had paid a sum of & 1 lakh in cash to Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate. Thereafter on 04/10/2024, my father Balwinder Singh had duly filled his nomination form for the Sarpanch election and on the said date we had paid a sum of & Rs.1,50,000/-through Google pay app by transferring the same to Ankush Dhanerval and as such a total sum of & Rs.2,50,000/- were transferred to Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate. On 15/10/2025, elections were held for Sarpanch and without showing us the votes polled, one Satnam Singh son of Lal Singh who is from our village only was declared winner.

that he shall obtain an order from the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court regarding recounting within 2 weeks. We had paid a sum of & Rs.50,000 /- in cash to Ankush Dhanerwal in the presence of Kulwinder Singh son of Gurdev Singh and Resham Singh son of Amarjit Singh Village: Maidewas on the same day. Thereafter, on dated 19/10/2024 Rs.40,000/-, Rs.7,35,000/- on 21/10/2024, Rs.10,000/- on 23/10/2024 and Rs.65,000/- on 24/10/2024 were transferred through Google play app to Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate and as such, a sum of Rs.4,50,000/-had been paid our fees.

Thereafter on 27/11/2024, the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh directed us to file a complaint regarding recounting of panchayat election before SIM, Sunam, District: Sangrur after which Ankush Dhanenval, Advocate told us that he will again re-file appeal before the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court and would get an order from the Hon'ble Court for which he had demanded a fee of Rs.5,45,000/- shall be incurred for giving it to the government pleader as well as Judge. We had agreed to pay the same to Ankush Dhanerwal who had again filed COCP No. 989 of 2025 before the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court and again we had paid a sum of Rs.85,000/- on 04/11/2024, Rs.

50,000/-on 12/11/2024, & 1 lakh on dated 16/01/2025,50,000/- on 17101/2025 50,000/-on 18/01/2025, & 10,000/- on 26/01/2025 and as such, paid a total sum of & Rs.2,60,000/- transferred through Google pay app to Ankush Dhanerwal Thereafter, on 28/02/2025, Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate did not appear before the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court. And as such, Hon'ble Punjab and High Court had dismissed our appeal bearing COCP No. 989 of 2025. Thereafter, the had tried to contact Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate telephonically to fix a meeting however he had started ignoring us and thereafter, we went to Village: Nagli, Tehsil and District: Tohana (Haryana) i.e.

village of Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate where we found his house locked and we had met uncle of Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate in the village who is doing Karyana shop and had disclosed everything to him, had telephonically called Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate and return our money or get our work done and also, the uncle Ankush Dhanerwal and Sarpanch of said village had informed us that Ankush Dhanerwal had also committed fraud with other persons previously. Thereafter, Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate had submitted a complaint against us at the local police station of his village concerned i.e.

Police Station: Sadar Tohana regarding giving him threats and we had gone to said police station to join the said enquiry where Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate did not come present, thereafter, we had asked for return of brief from Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate who without any provocation started threatening us of being an advocate after which, Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate had given a complaint against us at Police Station: Sector 3, Chandigarh wherein also we nad appeared to join enquiry and there as well, Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate did not appear.

& telephonically and had given false complaint against us. Thereafter on 12/08/2025, we had submitted a complaint against Ankush Dhanerwal before DGP, Chandigarh. Thereafter, Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate had approached the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court by filing a writ petition against us alleging threat to life and liberty. There is no truth in the petition as we have never threatened Ankush Dhanerwal, Advocate and on the contrary, Ankush Dhanerval, Advocate was the one who gave threat of being an advocate to us and whenever we ask for return of our fees, he flatly refused to return the same. The statement has been recorded, read the same, same is correct."
