New Delhi: A city court is likely to resume on January 28 hearing arguments in a 1984-anti Sikh riots case against former Union minister and Congress leader Jagdish Tytler.
The case is related to the killing of three Sikh persons in the Pul Bangash area in Delhi during 1984-anti Sikh riots in which Tytler is facing charges, including murder. The Central Bureau of Investigation has invoked charges under sections 147 (rioting), 109 (abetment) read with 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), among others, against Tytler.

The trial court had ordered the framing of charges on August 30 last year against TYtler under various Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections, including murder, abetment and rioting. The trial court framed the charges against him on September 13 last year after he pleaded not guilty to the offences.
