A Pakistani court has raised an objection to a plea seeking the reopening of the case of Bhagat Singh’s sentencing in 1931 and setting it aside. The court also objected to the constitution of a larger bench to hear the petition. Bhagat Singh, along with his fellow revolutionaries Rajguru and Sukhdev, was hanged by the British colonial rulers for conspiring against the regime. While initially sentenced to life imprisonment, Singh was later handed the death penalty in a fabricated case. The plea argues that Singh fought for the independence of the sub-continent and is revered by Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims alike. The petitioners, including Advocate Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi, chairman of the Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation, have been pursuing this case for a decade, with the Lahore High Court taking up the matter in 2013. They argue that Singh’s name was not mentioned in the First Information Report for the murder of British police officer John P. Saunders, for which he was sentenced to death. The case revolves around the violation of due process, as the special judges handling Singh’s case allegedly sentenced him to death without allowing his lawyers to cross-examine the witnesses. The petitioners seek justice for Singh and the recognition of his contributions to the subcontinent’s struggle for independence. The objection raised by the Lahore High Court highlights the need for a comprehensive review of the case and the government’s role in honoring Singh’s legacy with posthumous state awards.
