The Supreme Court has agreed to review its judgment by which it had rejected Khalistani terrorist Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar's plea to commute his death sentence to life term.

The next hearing in the case would take place on February 19.

Earlier, on January 28, the Supreme Court had agreed to hear in an open court the plea of Bhullar for commutation of death sentence awarded to him for the September 1993 blast to life imprisonment.

A bench comprising Chief Justice P Sathasivam and justices R M Lodha, H L Dattu and S J Mukhopadhaya decided to hear the curative petition filed by Bhullar's wife Nevneet Kaur on Friday.

Bhullar's wife filed the petition for relook against the apex court verdict which rejected her plea to commute his death sentence to life imprisonment on grounds of delay on the part of the government in deciding his mercy plea.
