Decide or we will consider it: SC to Centre on Beant Singh assassination convict Balwant Singh Rajoana's mercy plea

The Supreme Court has agreed to review the mercy petition of Balwant Singh Rajoana, convicted for the 1995 assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, if the central government fails to make a decision. Rajoana's lawyer argued for his release due to the 12-year delay in the president's decision on his mercy plea.
