well in the aforesaid case the rejection of mercy petition was after peiod of 11 years . the fact that for 11 years there was a damoscles sword hanging on neck of the convicts but no decision taken weighed in mind of high court so it stayed decision

the rejection of presidential mercy was otherwise can be seen as politically timed decision...When the Congress is at its all time low in the recent times, this decision was to be used for some political mileage.
Its only my opinion....otherwise there must be a lot of arguments to justify the delay.

This is nothing but a mockery of law. If those could not be hanged due to various reasons till date, does it mean hanging proceeding may not not be converted today?

This case directed against the rejection of the mercy petition on the ground of some old supreme court decision, not against the finality of the decision of the supreme court.

It is political gimmick. See the effect of this on Afzal Guru and Kasab. This is India.

This review petition is filed citing some of the statements of the then I/O who says the investigation is incomplete.
The hanging may get postponed further.

This could be presumed as a first step to abolish the death sentence from the statute in tune with the united Nations organisation's covenance.If the judgment of the Madras High court is read with the resolution in the Tamilnadu Assembly to commute the death sentence as life sentence, the quest for human rights felt evrywhere. The Senior lawyers who pleaded for clemency deserves all the honour

the main ground on the plea is section 300 of Cr.P.C. and article 20(2) of constitution of india. Regarding double jeopardy. The convicted are been in jail from 1991 to till date. They have punished 20 years in jail. the inmates already undergone the alternate punishment of life imprisonment period. THERE CANNOT BE TWO PUNISHMENT FOR SAME OFFENCE. EXPERTS MAY COMMENT.

There are not 2 punishments but the system of law is very lengthy here. If political gimmick is made base of court verdicts then what is wrong if the punishments of hanging awarded to Devender Singh Bhullar, a hardcore terrorist or Afjal Guru, another hardcore terrorist or in future also to other accused persons is not converted to simpler punishments or no punishments?
We are thus heading towards a lawlessness society and Rule of Law is being replaced by Rule of Cane.

I am also supporting the voice of abolishing the capital punishment.
But, in India the capital punishment is not abolished.
What shall be the status of the capital punishment which was already ordered by the court?
The only solution is to amend the law to abolish the capital punishment.
