New Delhi, February 29
Convicts Akshay Singh and Pawan Kumar Gupta on Saturday moved a Delhi court seeking a stay on the execution of death warrants against all four, scheduled for March 3, in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case.
Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana issued notice to Tihar Jail authorities on the plea of Singh, directing them to file their response by March 2.
In his plea moved through his lawyer, Singh claimed that he has filed a fresh mercy petition before the President of India, which is pending.
Advocate A P Singh, appearing for Singh, said his earlier mercy petition that was dismissed by the President did not have complete facts.
Gupta, in his plea, contended that his curative petition has been pending in the Supreme Court.
