Exorbitant delay in disposal of mercy petition renders the process of
execution of death sentence arbitrary, whimsical and capricious and,
therefore, inexecutable. Furthermore, such imprisonment, occasioned by
inordinate delay in disposal of mercy petitions, is beyond the sentence
accorded by the court and to that extent is extra-legal and excessive.
Therefore, the apex constitutional authorities must exercise the power
under Article 72/161 within the bounds of constitutional discipline and
should dispose of the mercy petitions filed before them in an expeditious
manner.
This Court has consistently held that prolonged delay in execution of death
sentence, by itself, gives rise to mental suffering and agony which renders
the subsequent execution of death sentence inhuman and barbaric
