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.
"We have struggled so much, so I am satisfied that a death warrant has been issued finally. I hope they (the convicts) will be executed on March 3", said Asha Devi, Nirbhaya's mother.
The Delhi HC has directed all the convicts to exercise all the legal remedies in 7 days following which it has directed the authorities to take action according to the law
