PoliticsCentre Opposes Commutation Plea of Balwant Rajoana's Death Sentence
The Centre has opposed the plea seeking commutation of the death sentence of Balwant Singh Rajoana, convicted for the 1995 assassination of Punjab CM Beant Singh. Rajoana, on death row for 19 years, challenged the delay in mercy plea decision pending since 2012. The Supreme Court will hear the case on merits on October 28, despite the Centre citing Punjab's prevailing situation as unconducive.
