In the case related to the murder of 2 people in the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots, the court has reserved order on quantum of sentence against Ex-Congress MP Sajjan Kumar. Advocate Kamna Vohra said, "Today, in the case pertaining to Sajjan Kumar, before Kaveri Baweja, Special CBI Judge, the court had to hear the arguments on the point of sentence in this case... We handed over our compilation and written synopsis on behalf of the complainant to the court, which has been taken on record... The defence counsel has also been directed to file their written submission within 2 days... The court has fixed the date for pronouncement of order on the point of sentence on 25th of February at 2 pm... The prosecution has prayed for capital punishment to be given to the convict, Sajjan Kumar... The complainant and I also prayed for capital punishment... The reason is that he is already been convicted in the killings of 5-6... This is the second conviction on the same kind of offence, that is the genocide which happened in 1984 where 2 Sikhs were killed brutally and their houses were burnt... The complainant has asked for the maximum punishment, that is capital punishment..."
