Bhullar's release plea rejected
Hindustan Times
|January 24, 2024
The Sentence Review Board (SRB) of the Delhi government has rejected the premature release plea by Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, a convict in the 1993 Delhi bomb blast case currently lodged in Amritsar jail, a senior official aware of the matter said on Tuesday.
The official said that SRB, headed by Delhi home minister Kailash Gahlot, met on December 21 to consider 46 cases of life convicts seeking remission in their sentence. SRB decided to release 14 convicts while rejecting others, including Bhullar, the official added.
It was the seventh time since 2018 that the plea by Bhullar was rejected by the board.
In an order on January 19, the home department said that in exercise of the powers conferred under section 432 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the lieutenant governor is "pleased to remit the unexpired portion of sentence of 14 life convicts on the Sentence Review Board's recommendations in its meeting on December 21, 2023". But the order did not mention the cases that were rejected by the board.
