1984 anti-Sikh riots case: Jagdish Tytler urges HC to stay trial proceedings

New Delhi: Congress leader Jagdish Tytler on Monday urged the Delhi High Court to stay the trial proceedings against him in a case related to the killing of three persons in north Delhi’s Pul Bangash area during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Tytler’s counsel submitted that the case is listed for recording of evidence of prosecution witness before a trial court on Tuesday and the



lower court be directed not to proceed with the matter till the high court decides his plea challenging framing of charges of murder and other offences against him.

Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri, who had earlier granted time to Tytler to file certain additional documents, noted that though the documents have been filed, they were not on record.
