Delhi Police to file spl leave petitions in 1984 Anti-Sikh riots acquittals, SC directs expedited action

New Delhi, Feb 17 (UNI) The Delhi Police on Monday informed the Supreme Court that it would be filing Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) in six cases where the accused in the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots were acquitted.
A bench comprising Justice A.S. Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan was hearing an Article 32 petition filed by S. Gurlad Singh Kahlon in 2016. In response to the petition, the Supreme Court constituted a committee led by Justice S.N. Dhingra in 2018 to examine riot cases.
In January 2020, the Dhingra Committee submitted its report, stating that investigations in several riot cases had been derailed and recommended filing appeals against acquittals. However, while the Delhi Police did file appeals, the Delhi High Court dismissed them on grounds of delay.
