A Bench Headed by Justice Abhay S Oka Directed the State to File Appeals Without Delay, as the Six-Week Deadline is Set to Expire
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday postponed its hearing on the monitoring of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots trials to May 6, granting the Delhi government additional time to challenge the acquittal of six cases by the Delhi high court last year.
A bench headed by Justice Abhay S Oka directed the state to file its appeals without delay, as the six-week deadline set in February is set to expire.
The court was hearing a petition by former Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee (SGPC) member S Gurlad Singh Kahlon, whose plea in 2018 led to the formation of a special investigation team (SIT) to re-examine 199 riot cases that were previously closed.
