Both 'hung' and 'hanged' are correct, although the term 'hanged' tends to be an older form. For example, history books tell of convicts and bushrangers who were sentenced to be hanged. Magistrates would sentence a man "to be hanged by the neck until he is dead".

What was the relationship between hang till death and quaid-e-azam practicing as a lawyer?

Quaid-e-Azam was an amazing lawyer. He never lost any of his cases. He was hired to defend a young man but the man was sentenced "To be hanged" anyways. On the day of the hanging, after they'd tied the rope around his neck, Quaid-e-Azam asked them to release him as the sentence stated that he should be hanged, and he had been hanged. After that, the courts never sentenced anyone "To be hanged" but "To be hanged till death" so that the same thing never occurred again. :P
