| A special court has deferred till Tuesday the pronouncement of quantum of sentence to the six persons convicted for the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh.
The Special Court of R K Sondhi reserved its verdict on the quantum of sentence after hearing the argument of CBI and the defence lawyer.
The CBI counsel sought capital punishment for all the accused, barring Naseeb Singh, in the assassination case of the then chief minister in the Congress-ruled Punjab, who was killed along with 17 others, including human bomb Dilawar Singh.
Jagtar Singh Hawara, Balwant Singh, Shamsher Singh, Lakhwinder Singh and Gurmeet Singh were convicted under Sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC.
Naseeb Singh was held guilty under the Explosives Substances Act on July 27 after a trial spanning 11 years.
Another accused in the case, Navjot Singh, who was acquitted, has been taken to Delhi in connection with another case registered against him.
