The case was filed against him for his alleged involvement in 1984 anti-Sikh massacre. He claimed diplomatic immunity as he visited US as an official of government of India and was on a special mission in the US while challenging the locus-standi of the complainants in his affidavit filed on June 24. The complaint against him was filed by Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a US based human rights group along with several Sikh individuals who witnessed and survived attacks in November 1984. Summons for Kamal Nath were issued by Judge Robert W. Sweet of the US federal court for the southern district of New York. He requested to dismiss the lawsuit against him while claiming that his job required him to be present in India. "As a government official with domestic duties and responsibilities, my presence in India is essential and necessary," his affidavit reads. "It will seriously impede my ability to carry out my official duties if I am required to spend significant periods of time in New York to defend myself in the lawsuit," he contended. In his affidavit, Nath has claimed that though he did make a trip to 3 East 64th Street, New York (consulate of India) on April 6, 2010 but none served summons and complaint as alleged (in the affidavit of service of Yoselin Genao filed on August 5, 2010 in the court). However, legal advisor of Sikhs For Justice, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, in a statement from US said that Nath's affidavit 'clearly and blatantly contradicts his earlier statements'. He said that on April 06, 2010, Nath publically acknowledged receiving the summons and media widely reported him saying "a piece of paper was given to me. I will have to see what the piece of paper is all about, I really have no clue about it, I don't have a basis and I don't know the authenticity, I don't know the validity.

He said that the plaintiffs would present to the court, newspaper reports, videos footage and witnesses affirming Nath's acknowledgement of receipt of summons on April 6, 2010. Meanwhile, in his affidavit, Nath has denied any role in attack and killing of Sikhs at Gurudwara Rakab Ganj on November 1, 1984 as is being alleged against him.
