1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: Delhi High Court Refuses To Condone Delay In Filing Of Appeal Against Acquittal Of Accused In 1995

Live Law

The Delhi High Court has dismissed an application seeking condonation of delay of about 28 years for filing an appeal against an acquittal order of 1995 in a case of anti-Sikh riots dating back to 1991. The division bench of Justice Suresh Kumar Kait and Justice Neena Bansal Krishna said that if the prosecution or the complainant were aggrieved by the judgment of acquittal, there was nothing which prevented them from filing the appeal. However, the court said even after the report of the SIT, there was a delay of about four years for which no cogent explanation has been given. In 1991, the FIR was registered against several persons accused of rioting, looting, and killing of Sikhs under Section 147, 148, 149, 307, 436, 427 IPC at Saraswati Vihar Police Station.
