As the Supreme Court rejected all pleas made by 1993 Mumbai blast accused Yakub Memon and also refused to stay the execution, he will be hanged in Nagpur jail at 7 AM tomorrow on July 30. Although a fresh mercy petition filed by Memon today, is with the President, he is not bound to consider it, as such a petition was already rejected by him in May 2014.
Here are the Key Developments Today:
* Supreme Court rejects plea on Curative Petition, saying there was not procedural lapse.
* SC also upholds the legality of Death Warrant, issued by the TADA Court.
* SC refuses to stay the hanging of Memon, which is scheduled to be held tomorrow.
* Maharashtra Governor rejects his mercy plea.
