ASG KM NATARAJ SAID THE GOVT IS SEEKING CHANGES TO EARLIER RULING TO ENSURE THE PROCESS DOES NOT CONTINUE ENDLESSLY

- Utkarsh Anand

The Union government on Wednesday pressed the Supreme Court to expedite hearing on its plea seeking stricter timelines for death row convicts to avail legal remedies and for executions tobe carried out within seven days after rejection of a mercy petition.

Appearing beforea bench of justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) KM Nataraj said the Centre wanted certain modifications to the 2014 Shatrughan Chauhan judgment so that the framework for death penalty cases factored in the rights and agony of victims.

In Shatrughan Chauhan’s case, the top court held that delays beyond of the convicts’ control qualify as grounds for commuting the death penalty, holding that the pain and suffering brought on by the delay warrant commutation of sentence to life in prison.
