Former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar has moved the Delhi High Court challenging his conviction in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, in which two men were killed in Delhi’s Saraswati Vihar on November 1, 1984.

In February, the trial court had found him guilty of murder and rioting along with other offences and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

The appeal, listed for hearing before a bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Manoj Jain on Friday, has been adjourned to November 19 as the bench was not available.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT), which probed this case, alleged that Kumar, who was the then Congress MP for Outer Delhi , led a mob that burnt alive the two Sikh men — Jaswant Singh and his son Tarundeep Singh — and destroyed and looted their houses acting on his directions.
