A Delhi court today transferred the two 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases, allegedly involving Congress leader Sajjan Kumar and others, from Special CBI Judge to a Sessions court.<br/><br/>District and Sessions Judge G P Mittal said that indisputably, Delhi is one Sessions division and any Additional Sessions Judge can try the case. This is not a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He said, the chargesheets were assigned to Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate of the North East district who conducted the committal proceedings, so the cases are allocated to Additional Sessions Judge (NE) Sunita Gupta.<br/><br/>The court directed all the accused as well as the CBI counsel to appear before ASJ Gupta on the 5th of April. Earlier, the court reserved its order on a plea of a co-accused of Kumar seeking transfer of riots cases from a special court to a judge having local jurisdiction.
