Delhi HC rejects Tytler's plea to stay trial in 1984 riots case

The case pertains to the killing of Badal Singh, Sardar Thakur Singh, and Gurbachan Singh and the setting ablaze of Pul Bangash Gurudwara, a day after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination on November 1, 1984. The Delhi Police had registered a case the same day.

A bench of Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri fixed November 29 as the next date of hearing in Tytler's application seeking a stay of the trial, during the pendency of his plea challenging a city court's order framing charges against him and clarified that the trial would continue.

"Submissions heard. To be reheard on November 29. Needless to state the trial would continue. The same would be subject to the outcome of the proceedings," the court said in the order.
