No progress in Afzal Guru’s case, reveals RTI query Indian Express Aug 09, 2008

NEW DELHI, AUGUST 8 : Exactly a month after Afzal Guru, sentenced to death for
his role in the 2001 attack on Parliament, blamed the UPA Government for its
indecision about his hanging, the Ministry of Home Affairs’ reply to an inquiry
under the Right to Information (RTI) Act shows his case has hardly moved an
inch.
Guru had raised a few eyebrows when he claimed the suspense about his fate was
killing him, and only BJP leader L K Advani could take the decision on his
hanging.
His mercy plea was filed barely a fortnight before the date of his execution on
October 20, 2006. Since then, Guru’s case has been pending.
Now, the ministry has, when asked under the RTI to provide details of clemency
petitions pending as on December 1, 2006, produced a reply by Joint Secretary
(Judicial) P K Seth that Guru’s case is “under examination”.
“There are two cases of mercy petitions of condemned prisoners namely Mohammad
Afzal, Delhi, and Gurmeet Singh, Uttar Pradesh, pending and under examination
of this Ministry,” said the reply placed before the Central Information
Commission (CIC).
I am not good at wrting as also may be understanding english. but....
Rejecting mercy petition and hanging Guru by following all procedures without
any further delay will be one of the fitting action against terrorism.
