Delhi High Court commenced proceedings in regard to hearing a challenge placed by the Centre after the 4 convicts execution was \u201cstayed\u201d by Delhi\u2019s Patiala House Court.<\/p>\n

Centre had challenged the stay on the execution of the convicts, which was scheduled for 01-02-2020.<\/p>\n

As reported by PTI<\/em>, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that: there is a deliberate, calculated and well thought of design by the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case convicts to \u201cfrustrate mandate of law\u201d by getting their execution delayed.<\/p>\n

Senior advocate Rebecca John, representing the fourth convict Mukesh Kumar, raised a preliminary objection on the Centre\u2019s plea saying it was not maintainable.<\/p>\n

Mehta told Justice Suresh Kait that convict Pawan Gupta\u2019s move of not filing a curative or a mercy petition is deliberate, calculated inaction.<\/p>\n
