Riots had broken out after the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984 by her two Sikh bodyguards.<\/p>\n<p>The high court had on December 21 rejected Kumar&#8217;s plea seeking extension till January 30 to surrender.<\/p>\n<p>The former Congress leader had sought more time to surrender, saying he had to settle the family affairs related to his children and property and also needs time to file appeal in the Supreme Court against the high court verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Sharma said they have removed the objections in their appeal filed in the apex court but since the court was on vacation till January 1, it was not likely to be taken up for hearing by December 31 and also the chances of mentioning for urgent listing of the appeal was not there.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court will open on January 2 after the winter break.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have removed the objections and the appeal in the apex court has been numbered.

The six accused, including Kumar who was a Member of Parliament at that time, were sent to be tried in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The high court had also upheld the conviction and varying sentences awarded by the trial court to the other five &#8212; former Congress councillor Balwan Khokhar, retired naval officer Captain Bhagmal, Girdhari Lal and former MLAs Mahender Yadav and Kishan Khokhar.<\/p>\n<p>All six, including Kumar, were directed by the high court to surrender by December 31, and not leave Delhi in the mean time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar is likely to surrender before a court here on December 31 to serve the life imprisonment awarded to him by the Delhi High Court in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. &#8220;We will comply with the high court&#8217;s judgment,&#8221; his counsel Anil Kumar Sharma told PTI.
