Afzal Guru was sentenced to death by a sessions court on December 18, 2002 for the 2001 militant attack on Parliament House. The verdict was upheld by the Delhi High Court on October 29, 2003 and by the Supreme Court on August 4, 2005.

Subsequently, the sessions court set October 20, 2006 as the date for hanging Afzal Guru but his wife filed a mercy petition. The petition was referred by the Ministry to the Delhi government but the Dikshit government sat on it for nearly four years. This prompted the BJP to accuse the UPA government of being soft on terrorists.
With the Ministry communicating that the plea be rejected, it is now up to the President to take a call on the fate of Afzal Guru. Exercising her powers under Article 72 of the Constitution,Hon. President Pratibha Patil recently commuted the death sentences of three murder convicts to life terms.
