SC refuses Sajjan Kumar interim bail on health grounds

A two-judge bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, said it is not inclined to grant Sajjan Kumar bail on medical grounds. The 75-year-old Kumar is serving life imprisonment after the Delhi High Court had convicted him and others in the case on December 17, 2018.

Anti-Sikh riots case: SC asks CBI to verify Sajjan Kumar’s medical condition

Senior advocate Vikas Singh, representing Kumar, submitted before a bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Hrishikesh Roy that his client should be taken to a private hospital for treatment as his condition had not been determined at a government hospital. The top court directed the CBI to verify Kumar's medical condition, who is serving life imprisonment in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.

Travesty of Justice

The three major instances of barbarism in India over the past 34 years — the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, the Babari riots of 1992 and 1993, and the Gujarat riots of 2002 — will continue to be regarded as monstrosities. The culprits either roam free or an effete leader, past his prime, is convicted as an act of cruel tokenism. Overall, punishment for a crime has been reduced to an exercise of too little and too late. The political careers of Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar were almost over when their involvement in the 1984 riots came into question
