The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to 23 accused who have challenged a Delhi High Court verdict sentencing them to five-year jail term after holding them guilty in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case registered in Trilokpuri area of Delhi.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi indicated that their appeals would be heard in due course after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the state had filed a petition seeking review of the top court’s earlier order acquitting 15 other accused in the case for want of evidence.
