Hello friends, Today we will talk about the decision that has taken a new turn in the cases related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. This case is in the headlines again today, and the Supreme Court has given a big order to the Delhi Police. Let us remind you that the 1984 riots left a deep and painful mark on our society. Many innocent people lost their lives, and the search for justice continues even today. Now, the Supreme Court has ensured that the cases in which the convicts were acquitted should be appealed again.
Supreme Court order and responsibility of Delhi Police
The Supreme Court asked the Delhi Police to file a special leave petition (SLP) in six cases related to the 1984 riots. The case was heard by a bench of Justice AS Oka and Justice Ujjwal Bhuyan. The order was pronounced on February 17, 2025. After this order, the Delhi Police said that they would appeal in six cases, which were earlier acquitted. The Supreme Court has directed these appeals to be filed within 6 weeks.
Hopes for justice in riots
After this decision, there is hope for those families whose members were killed during the riots. The path to justice was not easy, and many times in these very cases the police and prosecutors tried to weaken the investigation. Justice SN Dhingra’s report, which was made in 2018, also proved that in many cases the investigation was twisted in the wrong way. Justice Dhingra had also recommended that an appeal be made against the acquitted convicts.
Questions on irregularities in investigation and prosecution
Many people in the Sikh community, who are struggling to get justice in the 1984 riots, alleged that the investigation and prosecution were done entirely to save the culprits. The petition filed in the court also said that in many cases the cases were deliberately weakened to save the culprits. On this, the Supreme Court questioned the Delhi Police and ordered that all the cases be re-investigated.
A big step towards punishing all the culprits
The appeal of Delhi Police and the order of the Supreme Court have emerged as a big hope for the Sikh community. This decision also shows that the fight for justice should never stop, no matter how long it is. This is an example of how the courts constantly work hard to fulfil their responsibilities and stand against any injustice.
A new turn will come in the path of justice
Now the question is whether the Delhi Police will file these appeals in the right way and whether will justice be served in all the cases related to the riots. Questions are still being raised on this. But this decision has emerged as a big hope that those who were acquitted will be appealed again and a keen eye of justice will be cast on them.
It was natural for questions to be raised on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and the investigation related to it. Now, the order given by the Supreme Court has brought new hope for the Sikh community and the victim families. We all hope that this decision will provide true justice and the victims of the riots will get their rights.
