Will convicts be hanged on Mar 3 or more delays expected

• Monday | 17th February, 2020

Amid this of course, there is an argument being made as to why the rush to hang the Nirbhaya convicts and not other death row convicts. Review petitions are usually considered in-chambers and the Nirbhaya convicts' review plea was also rejected. As for the Nirbhaya case, convicts Mukesh Singh, Akshay Singh and Vinay Sharma have filed curative petitions and mercy pleas, which have been rejected. The continued delays in the execution have been largely due to two separate judgements that set precedents for executing death row convicts. And of course, doubt over whether the convicts can be hanged separately remains, without a solution to which the process will keep repeating itself.
