- description: Yakub Memon death - Yakub Memon Hanged Live - Yakub Memon Hanging Live Video: The Supreme Court on Thursday morning rejected a final plea by the lawyers for Yakub Memon, facing execution on Thursday morning, to stay of his hanging saying it would be a 'travesty of justice' to stay the death warrant. The Bench said ample opportunities were given to Yakub Memon to avail all remedies before court and executive. Reports from Nagpur where the execution is scheduled to happen Thursday morning, said the hanging could happen as early as 6.30 am. His wife and daughter are not in the city, but cousin Usman and brother Suleman are. At the central jail preparations were on unhindered despite the developments in the apex court. According to sources, two magistrates and a doctor are already inside the jail. Police are keeping morning walkers away from the jail. When arguments began around 3.30 am, they told the three-judge Bench that Memon must get 14 days to challenge rejection of mercy plea by President. This is the same Bench that earlier rejected Menon's plea. The case was heard inside the Supreme Court in what is an unprecedented day for the Indian judiciary. His lawyers argued that the mercy plea junked by the President in 2014 was filed by Yakub's brother and he had substantive right to file a fresh plea separately. His counsel argued that no distinction can be drawn between rights of a death row convict in a terror case and those convicted for other crimes. Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi argued that repeated filing of mercy petitions is nothing but abuse of the process. Attorney General says Yakub and family have been informed about rejection of mercy plea by President this evening. Attorney General tells SC idea is to delay the execution by 4-5 years on death row and then seek commutation alleging inordinate delay.
