that the SIT was not able to make out any ground for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>On consideration of the totality of circumstances put forth, it is held that presently there are no grounds made out by the petitioner (SIT) for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to Kumar on December 21, 2016, the bench added.<\/p>\n<p>The high court had on December 12 reserved its order on the SIT s plea seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail.The SIT had contended that the trial court order granting anticipatory bail to Kumar was perverse and overwhelming circumstances were ignored.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress leader was granted anticipatory bail by a trial court on December 21, 2016 in two cases of killing of three Sikhs during the riots which had occurred after the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.<\/p>\n<p>Kumar had submitted that his name was never taken earlier and it was a case of fresh allegations coming up after 32 years which was not allowed.<\/p>\n<p>There two cases filed against Kumar fall in the jurisdictions of Janakpuri and Vikaspuri police stations in West Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint in Janakpuri pertains to the killing of two Sikhs, Sohan Singh and his son-in-law Avtar Singh, on November 1, 1984 and in the other, where another Sikh, Gurcharan Singh, was burnt on November 2, 1984 in the jurisdiction of Vikaspuri Police Station. Gurcharan, who was half burnt, had remained bed-ridden for 29 years. He died three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The SIT had been constituted by the Union Home Ministry in February 2015 to reinvestigate &#8216;serious cases&#8217; filed in Delhi relating to riots that followed the assassination of Indira Gandhi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court today upheld a trial court order granting anticipatory bail to Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in two anti-Sikh riot cases of 1984.
