Just in: No question of KLF terrorist Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar's execution in his present health condition, Centre tells Supreme Court.  The Centre tells the SC that another mercy petition filed by Bhullar's wife is pending with the President.

The Delhi government has pleaded with the Supreme Court to commute death sentence of Khalistani terrorist Devinderpal Singh Bhullar to life imprisonment on the ground of his mental illness.

In an affidavit filed in the apex court, the government referred to the opinion of the Delhi Lieutenant Governor in which he had favoured commutation of the death sentence.

"On principles of human ethics and natural justice, I cannot bring myself to recommend the rejection of the mercy petition of Navneet Kaur (wife of Bhullar) and my comments may kindly be forwarded to the President of India for the final disposal in the matter," the governor had said.
