Lieutenant governor (LG) VK Saxena has accorded sanction to the Delhi government to file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the acquittal of 12 people in a case of murder related to 1984 anti-Sikh riots in west Delhi's Nangloi, the LG office said in a statement on Saturday.
The LG approved the proposal by the home department of the Delhi government to file a special leave petition in the top court after the Delhi high court dismissed its appeal on August 9, against a trial court order.
While dismissing the appeal by the home department, the high court said that there was no explanation for the inordinate delay of 27 years in filing the appeal against the trial court verdict of April 29, 1995, and grounds cited by the state were not justifiable.
