1984 Sikh Genocide: Reopen 186 closed cases; petitioners urge SC
Petitioners urge the Supreme Court to reopen 186 closed cases in the 1984 Sikh genocide, here on Thursday.
The petitioners told the court that despite the order of investigation in the 186 cases that were given in January this year, the new SIT has not started working on the closed cases yet. The Chief Justice said that he will look into the matter.
On January 9, a Bench led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said the three-member SIT would be headed by a former High Court judge and have a former IPS officer not below or who is equivalent to the rank of an IG and a serving IPS officer.
