Delhi court sends Jagdish Tytler case to district judge for hearing

A Delhi court on Monday sent a case related to the Pul Bangash killings during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, in which Congress leader Jagdish Tytler is an accused, to the district judge for further proceedings. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vidhi Gupta Anand sent the case to the district judge so the matter could be committed to a sessions judge, noting that Tytler, a former union minister, was accused of murder (punishable under sections 302 of the IPC), an offence “exclusively triable” by ‘Courts of Sessions’. The offence entails a maximum punishment of the death penalty in the rarest of rare cases.
