– Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has transferred the case against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots to the Special MP-MLA Court for trial.
– The court approved the supplementary charge sheet against Tytler and also transferred the sanction for prosecution to the Special MP-MLA Court.
– The court will hear the matter on June 8.
In a significant development in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, a Delhi court has transferred the case against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler to the Special MP-MLA Court for trial. The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi approved the supplementary charge sheet against Tytler and transferred the sanction for prosecution to the Special MP-MLA Court. The court will hear the matter on June 8.
The case relates to the anti-Sikh riots that broke out in Delhi after the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in October 1984. Tytler, a senior Congress leader, has been accused of inciting violence against the Sikh community during the riots. He has denied the charges against him.
The transfer of the case to the Special MP-MLA Court is seen as a significant development as it could expedite the trial process. The Special MP-MLA Court is designated to hear cases against sitting MPs and MLAs. The court has the power to fast-track the trial and ensure a speedy verdict.
The move comes after the Delhi High Court directed the Rouse Avenue Court to complete the trial in the case within six months. The High Court had also directed the trial court to hold daily hearings in the case.
The transfer of the case against Tytler to the Special MP-MLA Court is expected to have political ramifications, as the Congress party has been accused of shielding its leaders accused in the anti-Sikh riots case. The transfer of the case to the Special MP-MLA Court is likely to be seen as a blow to the Congress party, which is already facing criticism for its handling of the riots.
