Supreme Court Seeks Intelligence Bureau Input on Hawara's Prison Transfer Plea
The Supreme Court has directed the Delhi government to seek Intelligence Bureau inputs on Jagtar Singh Hawara's plea to transfer him from Tihar jail to a Punjab prison. Hawara, convicted for the 1995 assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, is serving a life sentence. The Delhi government opposed the transfer citing security risks and potential law and order issues in Punjab. Hawara's lawyers highlighted his age at the time of the crime and his good conduct in jail. The court acknowledged the sensitivity of the matter and awaits further inputs.
