1984: Delhi government gets it from court
WSN Network 

NEW DELHI: Shamelessness has become the hallmark when it comes to dealing with 1984 genocide cases’ compensation issue. Last Thursday, the Delhi High Court slammed the city  government for not replying to a petition for compensation filed by 10 families whom the 1984 anti-Sikh massacre had affected. Justice Rekha Sharma pulled up the Delhi Government for the delay in filing reply and posted the matter to August 4, the next date of hearing. 

In December last year, the court had issued notices to the governments at Delhi and Centre, seeking their replies on the petition by massacre victims awaiting compensation. Justice S.  Ravinder Bhatt had issued the notices after 10 families had approached the High Court claiming he Cente in its January 16, 2006, notification had discriminat ed between old and new claimants.
