With less than 24 hours left for the time assigned for 1993 Mumbai
blasts convict Yakub Memon's hanging, uncertainty still prevails over
whether the death sentence will be commuted.
Yakub Memon is scheduled to be hanged on Thursday morning July 30,2015
A 3-member Bench of the Supreme Court - Justices Dipak Misra, Prafulla C Pant and Amitava Roy will take up the 1993 blast
convict's plea against his death warrant on Wednesday July 29,2015.
This hearing
comes after the earlier two-judge bench of Justices AR Dave and Kurian
Joseph was divided in its opinion
and left it to Chief Justice of India
HL Dattu to set up a larger bench to decide if Yakub's execution needs a
rethink.
