Why Court Is at Fault for Chaos Over Nirbhaya Convicts’ Execution

The Quint  

Pawan and Akshay had approached the Patiala House Court in Delhi asking for a stay on the execution, the former because of his curative petition, and the latter on the basis of a fresh mercy plea. However, after being informed of the submission of Pawan's mercy plea by his lawyer AP Singh, Judge Dharmender Rana heard a fresh application for stay on the executions in light of this development. The public prosecutor and a lawyer for Jyoti SIngh’s parents argued that there had been no need for him to wait till then, and that he should have instead filed the mercy petition by 12 February, the date specified by the Delhi High Court for the filing of all relevant applications/petitions. However, even the public prosecutor accepted that the executions could not take place while the mercy petition was pending in light of the Delhi Jail Manual rules and previous Supreme Court judgments, though he said this did not require a court order.
