2012 Delhi gang-rape case: A Delhi court issues the death warrant against all four convicts. They will be hanged on January 22 at 7 am. The court also said the convicts can use their legal remedies within 14 days, which means they can file mercy petitions with the President of India.

A Delhi Court had reserved the order on issuing of death warrants against the four death row convicts in the sensational 2012 Nirbhaya Gangrape and murder case.

During the hearing, the prosecution said there was no application pending before any court or the President right now by any of the convicts and the review petition of all the convicts was dismissed by the Supreme Court.

While urging the court to issue the death warrants, the prosecution said, "In between issuance and execution of death warrants of the convicts want to file curative petitions they can do so." The counsel for two of the convicts -- Mukesh and Vinay -- said they were in process of filing curative petition in the apex court. - PTI
