The Tribune says...... Early end to prison life? •Devender Pal Singh Bhullar The Bench reduced Bhullar’s sentence mainly for two reasons: he has gone insane due to 19 years of incarceration and there was an “unexplained/inordinate” eight-year delay in the disposal of his mercy plea Bhullar can hope for an early end to his prison life as the Bench did not specify he would have to remain in jail for the rest of his life This means he is entitled to sentence remissions, given on a regular basis by state governments (Delhi in this case) Bhullar was convicted and awarded the death penalty for triggering a blast in New Delhi in September 1993 that killed nine persons and injured 25, including then Youth Congress president MS Bitta
