New Delhi: A city court on Tuesday (November 5) is likely to hear on November 12 arguments in a case against Congress leader and former Union minister Jagdish Tytler in connection with the killing of three persons in Pul Bangash area in the national capital during 1984-anti Sikh riots case.
Special judge Jitendra Singh, who was scheduled to hear the case on Tuesday, adjourned the matter after being informed that the counsel for the accused was unwell.
Court directed counsel to file his medical documents in support of his medical condition
“It is submitted by counsel for accused that main counsel/his father is not well…, therefore, he has requested for a short adjournment. The adjournment is opposed by counsel for the complainant. In the interest of justice, one opportunity is granted to counsel for accused due to his personal difficulty,” the judge said and added, “However, counsel shall file his medical documents in support of his medical condition on the next date of hearing. It is made clear that no further adjournment shall be granted thereafter,” news agency PTI reported.
Tytler appeared before the court on Tuesday.
