The Supreme Court on Monday adjourned the hearing on death row convict Devender Pal Singh Bhullar till March 26 as Attorney General GE Vahanvati has sought more time on grounds that the government is yet to take a decision on Bhullar's mercy plea.

The Centre had earlier assured the Supreme Court that the Khalistan Liberation Force terrorist will not be executed. The assurance came in the wake of a mercy plea filed by his wife which is still pending before the President.

The government has also informed the court that the Home Ministry was looking at the Delhi Lieutenant Governor's recommendation that his plea be accepted.
