Justice Bhushan- If he files, of course he'll have to be given time.

SG- Please see, he's under a direction to file within a week.

2020-02-11 09:02 GMT

SG- Even Pawan was heard before this (HC) order was passed. So he knew there was a week to file. This is strategic inaction.

SG- But trial court says it's sinful to issue death warrant. What do I do?

Justice Bhushan- But that's when mercy was pending

SG- no no. It was the same situation as now

2020-02-11 09:01 GMT

Justice Bhushan remarks that mercy petition could be bar to execution.

SG- Yes. But qua the persons who filed the petition. Not all the others. Mercy can bar execution of death warrant against that individual. But HC says it's a bar on all of them

2020-02-11 09:01 GMT

SG seeks clarification that any further filing petition by any of the convicts will not be a bar for execution of death warrant.

2020-02-11 09:01 GMT

SG says that even if death warrant is issued now, if Pawan files a mercy petition, proceedings will be stalled again.

He seeks an order saying that now if anyone files anything, that will not cause an impediment

2020-02-11 09:00 GMT

Justice Bhushan asks what is the impediment now in getting death warrants issued, as no legal proceedings are pending, and the time granted by HC has lapsed.

2020-02-11 09:00 GMT

Bhushan J-but you can go to trial court and ask for a fresh warrant. No one can force someone to file something

2020-02-11 08:57 GMT

SG- Trial court suspends death warrant. HC gives one week. Can I go to trial court now?

2020-02-11 08:56 GMT

Justice Ashok Bhushan to Solicitor General : Your chart shows 3 mercy petitions have been rejected. Pawan hasn't filed. Why don't you file for fresh death warrant?
