The Supreme Court will today hear the plea of Mukesh Kumar Singh, one of the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case, against the dismissal of his mercy petition by President Ram Nath Kovind on January 17.
As the last attempt, Mukesh through his counsel yesterday sought an urgent hearing on his plea against dismissal of the mercy plea before the top court. Responding to the plea, a bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde said that if somebody is going to be hanged then nothing can be more urgent than this.
