The Supreme Court on Tuesday constituted a three-judge bench to decide the fate of Yakub Memon, the lone death row convict in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, after a two-judge bench was divided over his plea seeking a stay of his execution that is due on Thursday.
In the wake of the disagreement between Justices A.R. Dave and Kurian Joseph on the issue, the matter was referred to Chief Justice of India H.L. Dattu, who set up a larger bench of Justices Dipak Misra, Prafulla C. Pant and Amitava Roy to decide the destiny of Memon, who turns 53 on Thursday.
The new bench will on Wednesday have the task of deciding whether to stay the death warrant that was issued by the Tada court in Mumbai on April 30 and go into the merits of Memon’s petition, which claims that the warrant was issued even before he had exhausted all legal remedies.
