Three 1993 Mumbai blasts convicts' petitions for extension of time to surrender on the ground that their clemency pleas are pending before President Pranab Mukherjee, were today dismissed by the Supreme Court.
Zaibunnisa Anwar Kazi (70), Issaq Mohd Hajwane (76) and Shariff Abdul Gafoor Parker (88) alias Dadabhai had moved the apex court seeking more time to surrender in order to undergo sentences awarded to them.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir rejected their petitions, saying extension of time to surrender cannot be given on the ground that clemency plea is pending before the President.
