1984 riots: Sajjan's plea hearing postponed

April 29, 2013 11:37

The Delhi High Court today said "further hearing is required" in the plea of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, who had challenged the trial court order framing charges against him in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case related to the killings of six persons.

Justice Suresh Kait, who was scheduled to pronounce the verdict today, said, "While dictating the judgement, I felt this matter should be heard further". Justice Kait fixed May 15 as the date for further hearing in the matter.

The judgement was reserved in the case by the high court in December last year. The trial court is scheduled to pronounce the verdict tomorrow in a similar case against Kumar and five others in which the former Outer Delhi MP is accused of instigating the mob to kill Sikhs in Delhi Cantonment area here during the 1984 riots.
