US EditionPakistan court objects to reopening of Bhagat Singh’s sentencing case
- Bhagat Singh, along with his comrades Rajguru and Sukhdev, was hanged by the British rulers in 1931 after being tried for conspiring against the regime. Singh was initially sentenced to life imprisonment but later unjustly sentenced to death in another fabricated case.
- A petition has been pending in the Lahore High Court for a decade, requesting the constitution of a larger bench to review Singh's sentence, honor him with posthumous state awards, and establish his innocence in the murder case of Saunders. The court objected to the petition, stating that it is not maintainable for the constitution of a larger bench.
- The petition argues that Bhagat Singh's fight for independence has earned him respect not only among Sikhs and Hindus but also among Muslims in the subcontinent, making it a matter of national importance that should be addressed by a full bench.
