The Delhi High Court granted one day anticipatory bail to Congress leader and former MP Sajjan Kumar in two 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases.
Justice SL Bhayana granted the bail till tomorrow when the case will come up for hearing before the regular bench.
The Congress leader, who was facing arrest following the lower court denying him bail, had moved the High Court yesterday for the anticipatory bail.
His petition mentioned him pleading how the lower court had wrongly rejected his plea on the ground that only the court, which had issued summons, can grant him bail.
The CBI had chargesheeted 13 people, including Kumar, on January 13 in two separate 84 riots cases for allegedly making provocative speeches, leading to the killing of 12 people in the riots in the aftermath of assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
