New Delhi/UNI: Delhi High Court on Friday said the plea of a 1984 anti-Sikh riots convict, who was punished with life imprisonment, for extension of interim bail become infructuous in view of the order of full court extending such relief till October 31 due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic.

A bench of Justices J R Midha and Brijesh Sethi was hearing the plea of Naresh Sehrawat, one of the convicts in the riots, seeking interim suspension of sentence for three months for undergoing liver and kidney transplant simultaneously and at the earliest.

He has also appealed against his conviction and the sentence before Delhi High Court.
