The Supreme Court on Wednesday night stayed the execution of Maganlal Barela, who was sentenced to death for beheading his five daughters after an argument with his two wives. He was to be hanged today morning. Further hearing of the case is scheduled to take place at 10.30 am on Thursday. The order of interim stay of execution was passed by the Chief Justice of India P. Sathasivam at his residence around 11.30 pm on Wednesday night after senior counsel Colin Gonsalves approached him with a plea to suspend the execution scheduled for Thursday morning. Since the CJI could not call the two other companion judges to his residence at the odd hour, he passed an order staying the execution and posted the matter for further hearing as a first case on Thursday morning to be heard by a Bench headed by him.
