The Delhi high court on Friday granted anticipatory bail to former Congress Member of Parliament Sajjan Kumar and six others in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases. Justice A K Pathak, while pronouncing the bail order, directed the accused to furnish a personal and surety bond of Rs 50,000 each. A lower court had issued non-bailable warrants against Kumar, 64, and others after they failed to appear before it despite its summons.
The trial court declined the plea of Kumar's lawyer that he be sent to high-security Tihar Jail.
