New Delhi: Delhi High Court will pass a verdict tomorrow on the plea filed by the Centre, challenging the stay on the hanging of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case. The court will pronounce the order at 2.30 pm on Wednesday.
Solicitor General Thushar Mehta had filed the plea for the Central government. He had contended that it was a pre planned and calculated move from the part of the convicts to “frustrate mandate of law”. Thushar Mehta told that the convicts are testing the patience of the country and it is the first ever incident in the history of the nation. The court had produced stay on the death warrant, describing that a convict can only be executed after considering all the legal solutions.
The accused Pawan, Vinay and Akshay had filed pleas in the court urging to adjourn the verdict saying that their legal remedies were not yet to be exhausted.
