SC rejects petition; Prez sends Memon's mercy plea to MHA

Mumbai blast convict Yakub Memon will be hanged on Thursday with the Supreme Court rejecting his plea against the death warrant. The apex court said there was no procedural lapse in the order on the curative petition. Memon's plea was earlier referred to the larger bench after Justice AR Dave and Justice Kurian Joseph differed on various aspects of the case. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Governor C Vidyasagar Rao has rejected the mercy petition.  The Governor's decision on the petition, submitted by Memon on July 21 within hours of the SC rejecting his curative petition, came immediately after the apex court dismissed his plea seeking stay on his execution slated for Thursday.Maharashtra Governor rejects Yakub Memon's mercy plea
