    Answer: The only authority for pardoning a sentence of death is the President.

    సమాధానం: మరణదండనను రద్దు చేసే అధికారం రాష్ట్రపతికి మాత్రమే ఉంది.

    Under Article 72 only the President can pardon a death sentence; the Governor (Article 161) can suspend, remit or commute it but cannot pardon it.
