Summary:
The court made the remarks while declining to hear the plea by Mukesh challenging the death warrant. The high court said there is no error in the trial court's order, adding challenging the order before it amounted to playing one court against another. "Then your rule is bad if you cannot take action till all the co-convicts have moved a mercy plea. Even after October 29, 2019 (when first notice was sent to the convicts informing them they can move mercy plea), you did nothing. If mercy plea is rejected after January 22, then also a fresh death warrant has to be sought from trial court in respect of all the convicts, he said..
