Stay on Kasab's execution procedural, says court
October 10, 2011  15:15

While the Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Maharashtra government on Kasab's plea, the death sentence has been stayed till amicus curae Raju Ramchandran's report is heard.

The SC began the hearing on Kasab's plea to stay the death sentence today, but the trial will be heard on a day-to-day basis from January 25. The court has said the trial will be heard expeditiously, though it observed that the ":man [Kasab] does not deserve an appeal." The stay on execution, says the court, is procedural.
