Bhullar Case: Shiromani Akali Dal Mulls Review Appeal In SC

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has been digging into the possibilities to lodge a review appeal in the SC after the latter refused Khalistani terrrorist Devinderpal Singh Bhullar’s appeal to transform his death sentence.

SAD secretary general and Rajya Sabha member Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa stated, “We are researching all remedies possible in the case. The matter is tied with the responses of Punjabis. Party’s senior advocates have commenced weighing the alternatives and lodging a review appeal in the apex court seems highly likely.”

The core group of party has already settled that Punjab CM and SAD chief and deputy chief minister together with other senior heads will meet PM and union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde in this regard.

“The SC judgment is ill-fated. Even some judges who gave the decision had raised doubt over death sentence being granted to Bhullar,” the SAD secretary general said.

A delegation of senior SAD heads will also meet Mukherjee and will tell him the “seriousness” of the matter.

“The SAD stand is very clear. It’s an issue relating with the sentiments of public and party will make all-out efforts to save Bhullar from gallows. Playing with emotions of people can create law and order problem,” the SAD leader said.
