Constitutionality of Intervention of SC in Presidents power of deciding on mercy pleas

Intervention of SC in Presidents power of deciding on mercy pleas without any time limit boundation, is it constitutional?

No authority can fix a deadline for the president to execute his responsibility.

However, in death penalty cases, the affected can plead this as a reason for seeking mercy.

Can the SC Intervene?

That's what exactly I was saying. The court cannot set deadline for executing presidential powers.

Again here, he may get some relief from the court. But the authority of the president cannot be questioned.

Sir but finally commuting like in Bhullar case with reason of over mental illness and an inordinate delay by the government in deciding his mercy plea, isn't it breaching president's power?

Actually, it is a grey area.

It goes through the home ministry and the pm with the recommendation of the govt. They can be held responsible for the delay. After reaching the president, it becomes his prerogative
