NEW YORK CITY (TIP): “Eastern District of New York Federal Judge Cogan dismissed the Sikhs For Justice case against Sonia Gandhi, holding SFJ to be an illegal plaintiff in this case,” said Ravi Batra, attorney for Sonia Gandhi. In a 13-page Decision and Order on May 9, Judge Brian M. Cogan, despite admitting that the Court construed the Amended Complaint “with great generosity,” proceeded to grant Hon.

Sonia Gandhi’s motion on each and every point, dismissing the case with finality, before declining to issue a global antisuit injunction against SFJ for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots – even as the Judge held that SFJ can never be a ATS or a TVPA plaintiff in any US court. Judge Cogan’s Order puts SFJ out of the publicity-lawsuit business.
