Also on this day

  • 1850Bhai Maharaj Singh was deported to Calcutta from Jalandhar
  • 1892Lal Singh, a Bar Student charged with an offence, insisted to give his evidence on oath by saying: I am a Sikh I have a religion. When he was examined on solemn affirmation and not oath, the matter went up in appeal. It was held by Justice Hawkins that it was wrong to let Lal Singh make a solemn affirmation instead of taking an oath. Wills, Charles, Lawrence, and Wright JJ all concurred.
