The order by a Delhi court comes after President Ram Nath Kovind had rejected the mercy petition of Pawan Gupta, one of the convicts in the Nirbhaya case.
Nirbhaya's mother, Asha Devi, reacting sharply to Indira Jaising's suggestion said that because of people like her (Jaising), rape victims don't get justice
The four convicts were to be hanged on January 22 at 7 am in Tihar jail. Soon after the Supreme court rejected the curative petitions, Mukesh had filed his mercy plea before the President.
