Either You Decide Or We'll Hear' : Supreme Court Gives Last Chance To Union On Balwant Singh's Mercy Plea, Posts On March 18

The Supreme Court issued a final warning to the Union government regarding Balwant Singh Rajoana’s mercy plea, setting a hearing for March 18. Singh, convicted in the assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh in 1995, has been on death row for years. The Court’s directive emphasizes the need for a timely decision by the President on the mercy plea. The Court expressed its concern about the prolonged delay, stating that if the Union does not take action, it will proceed with hearing the case itself. This marks the last opportunity for the Union to make a decision.
