Delhi gangrape: Fresh production warrants against two convicts
9 Oct 2013 5:32 AM IST
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday issued fresh production warrants against two of the four men who have been awarded the death penalty in 16 December, 2012, gangrape-cum-murder case and asked them to appear on Wednesday.
A division bench of justice Reva Khetrapal and justice Pratibha Rani ordered production of two convicts - Mukesh and Pawan Gupta - after their counsel withdrew from representing them.
Tihar Jail authorities were told to produce the convicts before the court on Wednesday, while hearing the trial court’s reference for confirmation of the death penalty awarded by it to the four men.
Mukesh’s counsel V K Anand told the bench that he can’t represent his client as convict’s family is interfering with his work.
‘I have prepared the appeal, but I could not file the appeal. I want to withdraw from this case as Mukesh’s family members are interfering in his work on the instance of certain counsels. Court should discharge me from the case,’ Anand told the court.
Additional public prosecutor Dayan Krishanan also informed the court that advocate Vivek Sharma, who was representing Pawan Gupta, also telephonically informed about his withdrawal as a lawyer from the case.
