Beant Singh assassination: Supreme Court refuses interim relief for Rajoana

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to grant interim relief to Balwant Singh Rajoana, on death row for the assassination of the former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh in 1995, without first hearing the government’s response. In May last year, the top court did not intervene in his case on the face of the Home Ministry’s conclusion that a decision on the mercy petition would compromise national security. “He should at least now see what is outside the jail.Your Lords may grant him some interim relief,” Mr. Rohatgi urged. In May last year, the top court observed that it was not up to the court to “delve” on the Ministry’s decision to defer a decision on the clemency plea.
