Bhullar seeks commutation of death sentence
- 11 years ago
Devinderpal Singh Bhullar has been facing a death sentence for triggering a car bomb explosion in 1993 outside the Indian youth Congress office in Delhi. He has sought the commutation of death sentence to life citing an 8 year long delay by the government in deciding his mercy petition. The apex court will today (April 12) deliver a crucial verdict on Bhullar's plea. Can delay be ground for commutation? Will the Supreme court commute his death sentence to life imprisonment?
