Kolkata, Mar 6: Former Supreme Court judge Ashok Ganguly today raised doubts over the handling of the 2013 execution of Parliament terror attack convict Afzal Guru, saying human rights prevail as along as the noose is not tightened around the neck.
"I am saying as a (former) judge the way the execution took place - his clemency petition was rejected on February 3 and the execution took place on February 9.
"This is wrong. He had the right to challenge it. Family members have the right to be informed about it. The human right is there as long as the noose is not tightened around the neck," he said.
The former apex court judge was speaking at aid at the Telegraph National Debate here.
Guru's hanging had created ripples in the country and a few quarters had questioned the handling of the entire episode.

Indian Law equl like Rss mind,
Dead man cannot be made alive, now the mistake has been done by congress and BJP, all political parties equally responsible for it, Justice should be done to family of Afzal guru by apologizing to family of him.
UPA hanged Afzal Guru for political reasons
Grave doubts about Afzal’s involvement in Parl attack
If raising questions on Afzal Guru's execution is all it takes, I guess I'm a terror apologist too.
Why should we be stopped from calling Afzal Guru's execution a \judicial murder\"?"
Even condemning Afzal Guru's execution was not seditious though it might be wrong in your opinion ...
Never question the Leftist patriarch China,\why do they execute so many people\" before questioning Afzal Guru's execution?"
Dear All
If EX Judge is saying this that means we all must think about the same....so will RSS send him to Pakistan ?
and he was accused only ,...this president Pranab Mukharjee is also a Brahmin who is inside has Zionism or Brahminism in himself unlike President KALAM who rejected the clemency petition.....its funny that Killer of Prime minister Rajiv Ghandi even it is proved ...for political reason they are kept alive...........this is Godse s INDIA not Mahathma s INDIA
