Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar had been sentenced to death for triggering the 1993 Delhi car bomb attack.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear death row convict Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar's plea to convert his sentence into a life term.
The Khalistani militant who had been sentenced to death for triggering the 1993 Delhi car bomb attack that killed 12 people, had filed a mercy petition before the President in January.
President Pratibha Patil had rejected the mercy petition in May 2011.
Bhullar's counsel had allowed to argue that the death penalty should only be handed out by a constitution bench and not if there is a split verdict.
