SIKHS ARE SLAVES INDIA, DOUBLE JUDICIARY STANDARAS, MN DAS DEATH SENTENCE COMMUTED BECAUSE HE IS A HINDU ..., AN INNOCENT SIKH WILL BE HANGED TO DEATH BECAUSE HE IS A SIKH ... WE NEED TO TAKE OUR JUSTICE ON OUR OWN NOW ... http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/supreme-court-commutes-death-sentence-citing-delay-in-deciding-mercy-petition-361259?pfrom=home-lateststories Supreme Court commutes death sentence citing delay in deciding mercy petitionReported by Rajat Kain, Edited by Surabhi Malik | Updated: May 01, 2013 13:38 IST New Delhi: The Supreme Court has commuted the death sentence of a murderer to life imprisonment on the grounds that the President's office took too long to reject his petition seeking mercy. MN Das, a death row prisoner, killed a man in Assam in 1990. Six years later, while on bail, he murdered another man. In 1999, he was convicted by the Supreme Court and sentenced to death. His mercy petition was rejected by President Prtibha Patil, more than 11 years after he filed it. His lawyer, like those of other death row prisoners, used the "delay is worse than death" argument. On April 11, the Supreme Court turned down that same argument in the case of Punjab militant Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, who was convicted of a bomb blast in Delhi in 1993 in which nine people were killed. His appeal to have his sentence commuted was turned down by the President after eight years. But in its order, the Supreme Court had said that terrorists cannot seek mercy by citing inordinate delays in the final call on their appeals. That verdict is expected to impact the cases of more than 15 other death row prisoners, including three men in jail in Tamil Nadu for the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, and four members of the gang led by sandalwood smuggler Veerappan, who are in prison in Karnataka.

From most of the decisions taken in cases involving religious minorities, be they Sikhs or Muslims, the Indian judiciary at all level, has adopted the ‘policy ‘of “ Guilty till proven innocent” rather than “ Innocent till proven guilty”. For the majority religious community (Hindus) it still is “ Innocent till guilty”. In cases where violence is involved between the members of majority religious community and members of any of the minority religious communities, the judicial decisions generally will be in favour of the members of majority communities reflecting “ Innocent even if guilty”. Such attitude of the Indian judiciary are being justified to satisfy the so called “ the collective conscience” of the community. This was clearly stated by the home ministry’s decision and the manner in which Afzal Guru was recently hanged. This principle adopted by the Indian judiciary is also reflected in awarding death sentence to Bhai Kehar Sing and very quickly executing it. This “collective conscience” is that which gets reflected by the biased mainline Indian media and the government propaganda through it. It is sad to see the attitude even in the highest courts, the High Courts and the Supreme Court.. This attitude /policy/principal adopted by the courts is being pointed-out in the video by Bhai Mandhir Singh.. Bhai Mandhir Singh is a lawyer. He is also the General Secretary of Akali Dal Panch Pardhani.

He said that the decision of apex court of India signifies the political subjugation of Sikhs under unitary Indian state system. He said that by declaring the so-called “collective conscience of the community” as the basis of awarding death punishment to Prof. Bhullar, the Indian Supreme Court has affirmed that there was no legal basis for awarding the death punishment in this case and Prof. Bhullar is sentenced to death because the “collective conscience” of the majority community of India wanted it. He said that it was now clear that Sikhs were not included in the collective conscience of India because Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, representing the collective conscience of the Sikhs, had repeatedly opposed to the death penalty of Prof. Bhullar. He said that death sentence to Prof. Bhullar was part of a series of atrocities committed by India against the Sikhs.
