New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Sunday reserved its verdict on the Centre’s plea challenging stay on the execution of the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case.
Justice Suresh Kait said it will pass an order after all the parties concluded their arguments.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the high court that there is a “deliberate, calculated and well thought of design” by the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case convicts to “frustrate” mandate of law by getting their execution delayed.
Now the judge gets to sit on this case for some time. In the Supreme Court, the judges will often sit on the judgment for months and sometimes even longer. Let’s see how long this judge takes. February 1 has already gone by because another judge put a stay and this judge now gets to sit on the case. It will be no surprise that if this judge allows it, another judge will not grant a stay on yet another frivolous ground.
