Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vidhi Gupta Anand also posted for July 26 the decision on whether to take cognisance of a charge sheet filed against Tytler in the case.
The judge passed the order after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) submitted that the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) result was still awaited.
"IO (investigating officer) submits that FSL result is still awaited. In these circumstances, matter is adjourned today. Put up for receiving of the FSL result/consideration on the aspect of cognizance/further proceedings on July 26," the judge said in an order passed on July 21.
The CBI on May 20 filed a charge sheet against Tytler in the case.
Three people were killed and a gurdwara was torched in the Pul Bangash area here on November 1, 1984, a day after the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated.
In its charge sheet filed before the court, the CBI said Tytler "incited, instigated and provoked the mob assembled at Pul Bangash Gurdwara Azad Market" on November 1, 1984, that resulted in the burning down of the gurdwara and killing of three Sikhs — Thakur Singh, Badal Singh and Guru Charan Singh.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
