Justice Singh will take up matter on January 1.
Rathore had on Wednesday morning moved the court of Justice Singh seeking anticipatory bail in the Ruchika Girhotra molestation case.
A grim-faced Rathore came to Patiala District Court to seek the bail and refused to speak to the media despite repeated attempts to get his version of the story.
Abha Rathore, counsel for Rathore, said that section applied in the two new FIRs registered go back 18-19 years and various higher courts including the Supreme Court have already given their ruling on them.
She claimed that the entire case was standing on media hype because the complainants had used forged and manipulated documents with reports of various agencies pertaining to alleged torture of Ashu Girhotra having been added.
Abha added that all allegations against Rathore were baseless an
d malicious.
She also said that they would also challenge the sentence awarded by the CBI Judge in Chandigarh on January 4, 2010.
Rathore's six-month jail sentence and Rs 1,000 fine have been suspended upto January 20, 2010.
The noose around Rathore has been tightening with the Central Bureau of Investigation lawyers are likely to meet Home Ministry officials on Wednesday to ask for reopening of the Ruchika molestation and suicide case.
Two new FIRs have been filed against Rathore and other police officials for allegedly slapping false cases against Ruchika's brother Ashu.
There were two complaints made by the family and based on all the information FIRs were registered against Rathore and other police officers.
The first FIR relates to tampering of evidence and forgery while the second was on behalf of ashu who was allegedly tortured by Rathore and Haryana Police.
A public interest litigation seeking death for Rathore has also been filed by a lawyer Ranjan Lakhanpal.
Even Ruchika's school Sacred Heart Convent is in trouble with authorities asking it explain why she was expelled without proper procedure.
