SC asks Sajjan Kumar to face murder trial in Sultanpuri riots case
New Delhi: In a major setback to Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, the Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected his plea for quashing of charges against him in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.

The apex court, while dismissing his plea, asked the Congress leader Sajjan Kumar to face murder trial in a case related to riots in Sultanpuri in 1984.

The apex court passed its order while hearing the petition filed by the Congress leader, who along with others, have been accused of murder in the 1984 Sikh riots.

The Congress leader had earlier sought quashing of charges against him on the grounds that his plea is still pending before the apex court. However, the apex court had refused to stay the trial proceedings.

Earlier, the trial court and high court had also dismissed the plea seeking quashing of charges against them.

Kumar, a former Lok Sabha MP from Outer Delhi, and five others were tried in the case dealing with the killing of five Sikhs - Kehar Singh, Gurpreet Singh, Raghuvender Singh, Narender Pal Singh and Kuldeep Singh, who were members of the same family, by a mob in Delhi Cantonment's Raj Nagar area.

The case against Kumar and others was registered in 2005 on a recommendation by Justice GT Nanavati Commission. CBI had filed two charge sheets against him and the other accused in January 2010.

Anti-Sikh riots: SC tells Sajjan Kumar to face murder charges

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed Congress leader Sajjan Kumar's petition to drop murder charges against him in the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases.

The court has directed Sajjan Kumar to face trial in a murder in Sultanpuri in Delhi during the riots following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. Over 3,000 Sikhs were killed in the riots.

Kumar, who was the Congress MP from Outer Delhi at the time of the riots, was the prime accused in the anti-Sikh riots. He had earlier appealed for quashing of charges against him on the grounds that his plea was pending before the apex court.

Earlier both the trial court and the high court had also dismissed the plea on quashing of charges against him. The case against Kumar and five others was registered in 2005 on a recommendation by Justice GT Nanavati Commission.

1984 riots is a shameful incident in the history of independent India, I hope justice is delivered to the victims.

Don't hold your breath, there is no commodification of the miseries of 84 ergo no mainstream outrage nor has the opposition been really shrill about this matter.

its the numbers game
2% vote share gives no rewards unlike 15% does

I heard cobrapost is doing a sting operation on the communal Sikh riot victims, of how they fudged their loss number to claim compensation.

This court decision is an attack on secularism. I demand the judge's wife be given a 100 crore plot in Mumbai for 90,000 rupees to guide him in the right path, or CBI used to bust the judge, ideally using discredited civil servants. Using bombs is also an option, if the judge dares to visit bihar.

Secularism khatre mein!!!!!

No its not. Killing any culprit does not equal justice, the quantum of punishment (i.e. death in this case, occurring through the pronouncement of a court or otherwise) is not important rather it is the surety of the punishment and confidence that the legal system will not fail you which is essential. Sans such surety and confidence only anarchy will gain ground.

right now courts are the most corrupt public body in india.there is a huge nexus between all the judges and lawyers.i have some personal examples in this regard and even majority of supreme court judges are corrupt too.
had we had a jury system it would have been better
btw last case tried by jury was of a naval captain!!

Too bad Congress can't work the Supreme Court like a muppet, like it does with the CBI.
