It depends how you define 'dismissed'. You see, the problem is that America still works under the principles of olde English Common Law, that it inherited from England, rigidly adhering to its literal meanings and interpretations. Since the late 1700's England, however, has on many occassions, taken a more purposive approach and reinterpreted the basics. Thats why to 'serve' papers on someone, while on paper still having the same old definition that America still clings to, has taken a far more common sense modern approach in England. The American legal approach however is still stuck in the year 1776. Thus, the claim against Kamal Nath was not successful for the sole reason that the papers were not 'served' (handed) to him in the same way that one would expect a character in a Charles Dickens novel to serve papers. When America gained independence, and German speakers being more numerous there than English speakers, I can't help feeling that the American legal system should have perhaps discarded the English system and adopted the German European Civil system. The English system, with its traditions etc, seems to be stuck in a time warp in America. None of which really helps us Sikhs at the moment. What I suggest then, is that all we Sikhs go to libraries and try and read up on the old law books from the 17th and 18th centuries. Then.....next time....we might be able to serve the papers properly to the murderer the next time he's in New York.

Judge dismissed case against Nath because summons didn't get to him in a proper legal way.

"a long-overdue and welcome decision, on August 27, Judge Shiv Narain Dinghra sentenced eighty-nine men to five years rigorous imprisonmentCthe harshest category of imprisonmentCfor their roles in the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 in which more than 3,000 Sikhs were killed. In his judgment, Dinghra named senior Delhi police officials as the Areal culprits@ and accused them and their Apolitical masters@ of supporting the rioters and suppressing the truth about the killings. Several independent human rights groups had documented the involvement of police and Congress party officials in orchestrating the massacre. In September, Kishori Lal, a butcher from Delhi, was convicted of the murders of two Sikhs during the riotsCthe first such murder conviction in the twelve years since the riots. In June, H.K.L. Bhagat, a former Congress party minister, was indicted for his role in inciting and directing the rioters"

even the judges say that others officers were guilty

even human rights groups have the proof ... "had documented the involvement of police and Congress party officials in orchestrating the massacre"

if World wide human rights groups have the knowledge i'm sure the un can call them to justice... this should again and again be highlighted at mass gatherings i.e. Hyde park and Nagar Kirtans
