A Case Of No Evidence: SC Acquits 7 Accused In 1984 Anti Sikh Riots [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Supreme Court recently acquitted 7 persons accused of their involvement in 1984 Anti Sikh Riots who were convicted by the Delhi High Court, in November last year. The High Court had heavily relied on the evidence of Rijju Singh, Pat Ram, Shoorvir Singh Tyagi and Manphool Singh to convict the accused. Referring to their deposition, the Apex Court bench comprising the Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Deepak Gupta and Justice Sanjiv Khanna observed that none of them have deposed that these accused were part of the unlawful assembly or they were involved in any acts. The present one really is a case of no evidence and, therefore, we will have no good ground to sustain the order of the High Court which is hereby set aside."
