The Supreme Court stayed the execution of Yakub Abdul Razak Memon, the lone convict in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case, whose death penalty was upheld by the court in March last year.
Memon sought commutation of death penalty on the ground that he has already served 14 years in jail, which is equivalent in general terms to a life sentence, and hence, could not now be executed.
