Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the framing of charges against the appellant under multiple sections of the IPC, including Section 120B and Section 153A, in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The Court found that the High Court correctly dismissed the appellant's revision petition, affirming that the evidence presented, including witness statements made after a significant time lapse, was sufficient to proceed with the trial. The Court emphasized the importance of expediting the trial, which had been pending since 1984, thereby rejecting the appellant's claims for discharge.
