The petition sought the setting aside of the freedom fighter's sentencing in 1931, and honouring him with posthumous state awards.
A Pakistani court on Saturday raised an objection on a petition to reopen the case of Independence movement hero Bhagat Singh's sentencing in 1931. The petition sought the setting aside of the sentencing by exercising the principles of review, and honouring the freedom fighter with posthumous state awards.
Singh was hanged by the British on March 23, 1931, along with his comrades Rajguru and Sukhdev, after being tried under charges of hatching a conspiracy against the British regime.
Singh was initially jailed for life but was later sentenced to death in another "fabricated case".
