The Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh high court has directed the district administration to pay compensation with interest to two victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
     
Justice S C Sharma passed the order on August 17 while hearing the petitions filed by Surjeet Singh (67) and Sharan Singh (68).
     
Advocate Himanshu Joshi, the petitioners' lawyer, told reporters today that Surjeet Singh's timber shop was burnt down and Sharan Singh's liquor shop was looted during the anti-Sikh riots in the city in 1984 following the killing of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
