New Delhi:
The Supreme Court today stayed the trial of Sajjan Kumar case till September 7.
It came after the Delhi High Court's refusal to stay the trial against senior Congress leader and former MP Sajjan Kumar in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case in which six persons were killed.
Two cases were registered against the former outer Delhi MP for his involvement in anti-Sikh riots in the aftermath of the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The trial court had on July 7 framed formal charges of murder, rioting and spreading enmity between two communities against Kumar and others relating to the killing of six persons in Delhi's Sultanpuri locality.
The court had earlier ordered framing of charges against Kumar and Brahmanand Gupta, Peru, Khushal Singh and Ved Prakash in the case.
CBI had filed two chargesheets against Kumar and others on January 13 in the riots cases registered in 2005 on the recommendation of Justice G T Nanavati Commission which had inquired into the sequence of events leading to the riots.
