Mercy Petition

The SC granted the Union govt four more weeks to decide on Balwant Singh Rajoana's mercy petition in the 1995 Beant Singh assassination case.

The Supreme Court directed the Secretary to the President to present Balwant Singh Rajoana's mercy petition to President Droupadi Murmu.

Rajoana has spent nearly 28 years in jail. He cites delays in processing his mercy petition as grounds for his appeal
