Anti-Sikh riots case: Tytler seeks trial stay, HC denies

Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri ruled that the ongoing trial in a lower court will continue, though subject to the outcome of Tytler's plea before the High Court, with the next hearing set for November 29.

Tytler had approached the court seeking a halt to the trial proceedings. His defense argued that the trial should be paused until the HC addresses Tytler's challenge against the charges framed against him.

In his petition, Tytler raised concerns about the credibility of the investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and questioned the intentions behind the prosecution.
