Yakub Memon to be hanged at 7 AM on Thursday, July 30

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:

* 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.
