1984 riots: Court to consider closure report on April 22
29 March 2015 5:20 AM IST
The hearing could not take place on Friday as Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler was not holding court. The magistrate is in Lucknow from March 20-28 for training purpose.
The court had earlier issued notice on the closure report to the complainant and victim, Lakhvinder Kaur, whose husband Badal Singh was killed during the riots, for Friday. Advocate Kamna Vohra, appearing for Kaur, however, claimed that the victim has not yet been served the notice.
The court had earlier said “perusal of records revealed that the cancellation report was also filed earlier as regards accused Jagdish Tytler”.
This was the third time that Tytler was given a clean chit in the case by the investigating agency.
CBI had said it has conducted further probe in the case, as directed by a sessions court, and filed a closure report in the matter.
In April 2013, CBI was directed by a sessions court to further investigate the case as it set aside its earlier closure report.
Expressing displeasure over the CBI’s move of filing the closure report, senior advocate H S Phoolka, representing the riot victims, had said,
“Why is it being done so secretly? Even the complainant has not been informed about it. It has been filed secretly.
