The Delhi High Court is likely to pronounce its verdict on Centre's plea challenging stay on execution of 4 death row convicts. On February 2, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had said, "There cannot be any delay in the interest of justice, death sentence cannot be delayed. In the interest of the convict, any delay in the death sentence will have a dehumanising effect on the accused." He had further added, " Once SC decides the fate of all convicts in finality, there is nothing barring them from being hanged separately. Last legal remedy which can postpone the hanging, as per the Prison Rules, is the Special Leave Petitions before the SC."
