Under some very unprecedented circumstances, the supreme court of India gets underway at 02.30A.M on Thrusday 30th july 2015, just to hear the last minute legal petition of the counsel for Yaqub Memon to seek a 14 day repreieve after the rejection of his mercy plea by the president.

Well, whatever be the legal points that were discussed during the hearing,  this is what needs to be commended.

Something which makes every Indian to feel proud about the judicial system of the country.

After the accused uses all possible resources in order to evade the death sentence, the Supreme court just before a few hours of the hanging, sits in the supreme court premises to hear the last moment plea of the accused’s counsel during wee hours.

Though the plea is dismissed on legal grounds, but what needs to be applauded is the landmark hearing in the most unprecedented and unusual circumstances, just to give the accused the last chance to defend himself.

The defence counsel perhaps knew that they are defending the indefensible, but they moved the highest court of the country and the case was heard, thereby setting an extraordinary example of legal jurisprudence, which, we as Indians should really be proud of.

Although this court hearing is not something to celebrate, because it was something which was related to the death of a human being.

But at the same time it was something which related to the justice to be meted to  the families of those 257 human beings who lost their precious lives in the bomb blasts. And also the families of  about 100 victims who got injured in the dastardly and barbaric bomb blast.

“No one is big or small in the eyes of Justice, as Justice is blind.”
