After hearing the plea of guilty Akshay in the Supreme Court on December 18, Nirbhaya's mother's plea was heard in the Patiala House Trial Court in Delhi. The trial court ordered the jail administration to issue a notice to the convicts and ask them what legal path they want to take in their defense after the reconsideration petitions are dismissed and in how many days. Nirbhaya's mother requested the trial court to issue a black warrant to hang the culprits. The black warrant issues the same lower court, the sessions court in which the case has been tried. The Tihar jail administration issued notice to the 4 convicts on Wednesday in which they are being given 7 days to file a mercy petition with the President.
