District judge to hear ‘84 anti-Sikh riots case against Sajjan
A district judge today allowed a plea of a sessions judge to transfer a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case allegedly involving senior Congress leader Sajjan Kumar.
District Judge Bimla Makin decided to hear the matter herself on June 2 after receiving a request along with details related to specific reasons from Additional Sessions Judge V K Goyal in a sealed envelop.
The court passed the order to transfer the case after being satisfied with the reasons given by ASJ Goyal.
It directed the envelop containing the reasons to be sealed again saying the document shall not be opened again except by the order of the High Court.
Additional Sessions Judge V K Goyal was to pronounce the order on an application of the prosecution seeking direction with regard to a chargesheet prepared by police against Kumar but never submitted before a judicial officer.
