A British Sikh man, Jatinder Singh, who claimed he was barred from jury duty because he was carrying a kirpan, has been invited by the authorities to discuss the matter further. Singh's discharge was initially attributed to a surplus of jury members on the day. The His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has apologized and invited Singh to ensure their policies are correctly applied. The incident has prompted a Sikh MP to seek a review into the broader implications for the community.
