CJI to constitute a new bench to hea plea tomorrow on Yakub Memon's case
  • 5 years ago
1993 Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon's petition to stop his hanging on Thursday was referred to the Chief Justice of India after sharp differences between two judges today. One of the judges, Justice Anil Dave, said Yakub's execution should not be stopped, because "if the king doesn't punish the guilty with red eyes then the entire sins will come on the king."

The judges have asked Chief Justice HL Dattu to set up a larger bench to decide.
