The Delhi Court has given seven days for the Nirbhaya convicts to exercise all their legal remedies and after that, the trial court will proceed further on the execution of the convicts.

The judges have also said that the convicts cannot be hanged separately and they should be hanged at once. Hearing this plea Justice Suresh Kait has made some crucial comments in this regard.

"Delhi Prison Rules do not say that if mercy petition of one convict is pending, the execution of the other convicts can take place," he said.

"Since upto the Supreme Court, their fate has been decided by a common judgment, I am of the opinion that death warrant of all convicts should be executed together and not separately," the court said.

After knowing this development Nirbhaya's mother felt very happy as the convicts are using every possible way to delay the death sentence.

"I'm glad that the High Court has set a time limit for the process. The convicts have been delaying it, now it has to done within a week," she said.
