Judge recuses himself in case of missing Sajjan chargesheet

NEW DELHI: The fate of the missing chargesheet filed in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case and which had named former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar as an accused remains undecided. The sessions court judge who was to deliver the order on whether direction could be issued to the police to file the chargesheet before a competent court recused himself on Friday from hearing the case citing "personal reasons".

Additional sessions Judge V K Goyal was to pronounce the order on an application by the prosecution seeking direction on a chargesheet prepared by police against Sajjan Kumar but never submitted before a judicial officer.

The judge, however, decided to send the file to the district judge for transferring to another court. "Due to certain personal reasons I do not want to adjudicate on this matter. Let the file be placed before learned district judge VIII with a request to transfer the same to some other court of competent jurisdiction," ASJ Goyal said, directing the parties concerned to appear before the district judge on May 24.
