1984 Riots: SC Seeks Report of Cases From Delhi HC in a Month

What transpired in court

- Abraham Thomas

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday questioned the long delay by the Delhi high court in deciding appeals in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases—some of which have been pending for over seven years—and called for a report in this regard within a month.

The court further directed the Delhi Police to expedite filing of appeals before the top court against six separate high court orders of acquittal and ensure that this is done within six weeks.

The bench headed by Justice Abhay S Oka said, "We direct the Supreme Court registry to call for a report from the Delhi high court on the four revision petitions."

The court was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by former Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee (SGPC) member S Gurlad Singh Kahlon, on whose plea the top court in 2018 constituted an SIT led by Justice (retd) SN Dhingra, a former Delhi high court judge, to probe 199 riot cases in which investigations stood closed.
