Headnote | Mercy petition: 1993 Bombay bomb blasts - Petitioner convicted and awarded death sentence - Mercy petition rejected - Death warrant issued - Writ petition - Legal justifiability of warrant for execution of petitioner on 30. 7. 2013 assailed and direction sought for stay of execution till disposal of writ petition on the ground of not granting of 14 days' time from the date of receipt of communication of rejection of the mercy petition - Held: Almost 22 years have passed since 1993 when the incident occurred - There was no error in the issue of the death warrant - When the first mercy petition was rejected on 11. 04. 2014, there was sufficient time available to the petitioner to make arrangement for his family members to meet him in prison and make necessary worldly arrangements - He had adequate time to prepare himself to meet his Maker and to make peace with himself - The family was allowed to meet him whenever they desired as per the Jail Manual- The rejection of the first mercy petition by the President of India could have been assailed before Supreme Court. but it was not done - It was not a case of such nature where it could be said that legal remedy was denied to the petitioner - The first mercy petition was submitted by the brother of the petitioner, but the facts clearly showed that he was aware of the same- The present mercy petition was, therefore, not preferred by the petitioner for the first time and. therefore, 14 days' time should not be granted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
