The execution is scheduled on Friday.
The execution is scheduled on Friday.
This is the fourth date set for the execution.
All legal options for the four convicts have now been exhausted.
It's not clear if the execution will take place on Tuesday.

A Delhi court on Saturday dismissed Vinay Sharma’s plea for treatment for mental illness.
They had been asked to exhaust all legal remedies within a week.
Two execution dates have been deferred in a month for the four on death row.
A 14-day gap is mandatory from the date of mercy petition rejection and execution.
A number of petitions were filed against the hanging over the last one week.
