Mr Tytler had been summoned by the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi today.

New Delhi:

Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) members today held a protest outside Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler over a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.

A minor tussle also erupted between members of the DSGMC and the Delhi Police outside the Rouse Avenue Court, leading to the police closing the entry gate of the courtroom due to security reasons.

Mr Tytler had arrived at the Rouse Avenue Court in connection with a case related to the anti-Sikh riots after being issued a summons to appear today.

During the hearing, the court asked Mr Tytler to furnish the bail bond as per the condition imposed by the sessions court. Subsequently, he will have to furnish a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh as directed by the sessions court.

Mr Tytler was granted anticipatory bail by the sessions court on Friday in a case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots involving arson in a gurdwara in North Delhi.

Stating that it has received the bail order granted by the sessions court, the Rouse Avenue court directed to supply a chargesheet to Mr Tytler, which has been done.

The Central Bureau of Investigation had, on May 20, filed a chargesheet against Mr Tytler in a case related to anti-Sikh riots in 1984 following the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, on October 31, 1984. Mr Tytler, then Member of Parliament, has been named as an accused in the chargesheet.

During the CBI investigation, evidence came on record that on November 1, 1984, the said accused allegedly instigated, incited and provoked the mob assembled at Gurudwara Pul Bangash in Azad Market, Delhi, which resulted in the burning of Gurudwara Pul Bangash and killing of three Sikh persons by the mob, apart from burning and looting of shops.

1984: Court reserves order on Tytler’s anticipatory bail plea | Delhi News

[ad_1]

A Delhi Court Wednesday reserved its order on former Congress minister Jagdish Tytler’s anticipatory bail plea in a case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots involving arson in a North Delhi gurdwara.

Medical conditions, mental health issues and old age were cited by Tytler’s counsel as grounds to seek anticipatory bail. The matter will now be heard on August 4.

In May, the CBI filed a supplementary chargesheet against Tytler based on statements of new witnesses who claimed they saw him allegedly instigating the mob which had assembled at Azad Market’s Pul Bangash Gurdwara on November 1, 1984, following which it was burnt down and three persons were killed. The chargesheet alleged that Tytler “incited, instigated and provoked” the mob, after which he had moved an anticipatory bail plea at Rouse Avenue Court on August 1.

Public Prosecutor Amit Jindal told The Indian Express that statements of two new witnesses, who had never spoken regarding the case earlier, were recorded during the investigation.

Tytler’s counsel, Manu Sharma, argued that closure reports filed by the CBI in 2009 and 2014 proved he was innocent and he was at Teen Murti Bhavan when gurdwara was set ablaze, on the basis of a DVD which the agency relied on while filing a closure report. “In 2009, the CBI recommended no action… In 2014, again the court recommended no action against Tytler. But 11 months before a general election… the CBI decides… there is a case…,” said Sharma.

The summoning orders, he said, suffered from a “serious infirmity” as they were passed based on a few witnesses who showed up after decades.

HS Phoolka, the counsel for the complainant, argued that the grant of bail was not necessary since accused had committed offences punishable with death, imprisonment for life or for more than 7 years. He argued that the gravity of the offence and the likelihood of the accused threatening witnesses needed to be looked at. “It is not a case of three murders, it is a case of genocide…” he said. “Threats took place for a closure report. Imagine what would happen for a chargesheet,” he said.

Sharma said the delay in the witnesses coming forward tilted the case in favour of the accused. “… The new witnesses have to explain why they didn’t come forward earlier during trial,” he said.

“Witnesses react differently. Just because there is a delay in their statements doesn’t mean they’re lying,” Jindal countered.
