Anti-Sikh riots: HC to hear plea against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler
The High Court had declined to grant a stay on the Central Bureau of Investigation probe against him.

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court will on Tuesday be hearing a petition against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler for his alleged role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

The High Court had declined to grant a stay on the Central Bureau of Investigation probe against him.

A Delhi court had in April ordered that Tytler's role in a case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots be re-investigated. The Karkardooma court which ordered the re-investigation set aside the order of a trial court which had accepted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) closure report of 2009 that had given a clean chit to Tytler.

The closure report was later accepted by the magistrate in 2010 who said there was no evidence against Tytler to try him in the riots case. The case against Tytler relates to the killing of three persons near a gurudwara in Pul Bangash area of the national capital on November 1, 1984.
