26 Sept 2013 5:32 AM IST
The Delhi high court on Wednesday deferred the hearing on the death penalty reference against four convicts in the 16 December gang rape and murder case to 1 October. The court has also directed the police to supply the necessary set of documents to the offenders.
A bench of justices Reva Khetrapal and Pratibha Rani listed the matter for Tuesday after the counsel for the four convicts submitted that they did not have the same paper books (set of documents) with which prosecution will present the case before it. The court had on Tuesday fixed the hearing of the death penalty reference on a day-to-day basis against convicts Mukesh (26), Akshay Thakur (28), Pawan Gupta (19) and Vinay Sharma (20) from Wednesday.
