Afzal Guru sentenced to death in 2006, but 7 years to hang him. Double sentence for him. Solution Amendment to the resolution that after mercy petition for death sentence, the court must decide on mercy within a time span of 6 months - or execute the judgement.Currently, no time limit for the President to take a decision.
In a record of sorts, two convicts have been executed in less than 3 months. Pranab Mukherjee's quick rejection of the mercy petitions of Ajmal Kasab, the only survivor among the perpetrators of 26/11, and Mohammad Afzal Guru, the main accused in the case of attack on Parliament in 2001, has helped the Congress-led UPA government neutralise its critics who say this is an administration that is soft on terror.
Pratibha Patil, commuted as many as 35 death sentences to life imprisonment before she demitted office — and was seen as opposing the death penalty in principle.
Why Rajiv Gandhi's killers shown mercy inspite of being foreigners like Kasab (From Sri Lanka) for Kashmiri Afzal Guru ? If we say Kashmir is a part of India then why not treated as Indian
