Yakub Memon's laywers move SC again; President yet to decide

July 29, 2015

Fresh reports indicate that Yakub Memon's lawyers are likely to move the Supreme Court.

The lawyers contend that President Pranab Mukherjee should not decide mercy plea overnight.

If the plea is accepted, the judge will hear the plea at his residence.

Sources say that the President wants time to study the matter properly.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had earlier in the night met with President Pranab Mukherjee.
