The president in a process to clear the long list of mercy plea petitions pending before her office has rejected a mercy petition of a member of the Khalistan Liberation Force who was convicted in a bomb blast in New Delhi killing the then Youth Congress leader M.S.Bitta and 12 others.

The Supreme Court in a recent case has expressed its intention to probe into the reason for the delay of the mercy petitions specially this one.
