This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This e-petition is rejected on the grounds that the UK Government cannot make laws within India - if the e-petition asked for the British Government to make representations to the Indian Government with regard to banning captial punishment, it could be published.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
