The Supreme Court will hear former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar’s appeal against his conviction and life sentence in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case after the Diwali break. Court proceedings will resume on October 27, following the October 20 recess.
The Calcutta High Court quashed the case against a man accused of mocking Mamata Banerjee in a YouTube video. Justice Ajay Kumar Gupta stated that there was no strong evidence or valid grounds to continue the trial. He noted that filing a charge sheet without solid proof is not enough to justify legal proceedings. The verdict reinforces the importance of substantial evidence in criminal cases.
