In Brief
The petitioner sought to challenge the rejection of his mercy petition through a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution. The petitioner had previously filed a criminal revision petition in the lower courts, which was dismissed, and the High Court also dismissed a subsequent criminal revision petition challenging that rejection. The Supreme Court held that a writ petition under Article 32 is not the appropriate remedy after other legal remedies have been exhausted. Accordingly, the writ petition was dismissed.
