A Delhi Court is likely to hear tomorrow the anticipatory bail plea of former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar, who along with others have been chargesheeted by the CBI in two 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases.
Special CBI judge PS Teji would take up Kumar's bail application who has been issued summons by a court after taking cognisance of the CBI charge sheet against him.
In his application, the Delhi Congress leader contended that he has been co-operating with the investigating agency and never been arrested by it during the probe. He also claimed that he was granted anticipatory bail by the Delhi High Court in 1990 in similar cases.
The court had already reserved its order on the similar anticipatory bail applications of Kumar's co-accused Peru, Mahender Yadav, Brahma Nand Gupta, Balwant Khokhar, Krishan Khokhar and Ved Prakash.
The accused are required to take bail as they have been issued summons by a court on CBI's chargesheet against them. The CBI, which had chargesheeted 13 people, including Kumar, on January 13 in two separate 1984 riots cases for allegedly making provocative speeches, leading to the killing of 12 persons in the violence that broke out following the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi.
The probe agency had filed the chargesheets in the court after concluding its investigation into the cases registered on the recommendation of Nanavati Commission in 2005.
