New Delhi: The
Supreme Court Friday dismissed a plea by 1993 Delhi bomb blast
accused Devender Pal Singh Bhullar challenging the rejection of
his mercy plea by the president.
An apex court bench of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice S.J.
Mukhopadyay said the petitioner had failed to make a case for
commuting death sentence to life imprisonment, on grounds of the
delay by the president in deciding his mercy plea.
Bhullar was given capital punishment for the 1993 blast at the
Youth Congress office in Delhi which left nine dead. The attack
was targeted against then Youth Congress leader M.S. Bitta.
Bhullar had filed a mercy petition on January 14, 2003, which was
rejected by the president May 25, 2011.
