Last-ditch petition for Memon in SC after Prez rejects plea

July 29, 2015 23:46

In yet another last ditch action, lawyers for Yakub Memon, facing execution tomorrow, moved the Supreme Court late tonight seeking stay of his hanging.

The petition pleaded that an order should be passed that the authorities should give him at least 14 days time for execution after the rejection of his mercy petition as per the apex court's guidelines.

The petition will be processed before a decision is taken whether it is to be heard and if so by one or more judges at their residence.
