The hearing was held in the Supreme Court on Friday (July 18, 2025) on the demand to save Indian nurse Nimisha Priya in Jail Jail from the death sentence. The petitioner institution told the court that the sentence has been postponed at present.
The petitioner went to Yemen to meet the victim’s family and try to meet the agreement. On this, the court said that the petitioner should submit a memorandum to the government for this.
Nimisha, who lives in Kerala, has proved to be a blame for murder. He was to be hanged on July 16, but it has been postponed by the efforts of the Government of India and a senior Mufti from Kerala. The Supreme Court has said the next hearing on 14 August.
On behalf of the Central Government, Attorney General R Venkatarmani told the bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta that everyone wants to have a safe return to Nimisha, but the result of more interference in the case can also be bad. The Ministry of External Affairs has requested to avoid punishment in both formal and informal methods.
The organization named ‘Save Nimisha Priya Action Council’ has said that Yemen law has a provision to end the sentence of murder. The family of the deceased can forgive the killer after compromise and cash payment with the guilty party. In such a situation, if the central government intervenes, then the solution can come out.
Nimisha Priya has proved to be a blame for the murder of Yemen citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi in 2017. He was sentenced to death in 2020. The petition filing institution has said that 37 -year -old Nimisha is a victim herself. Mahdi had seized his passport for a long time. He was constantly harassing him.
The petitioner institution has said that during which Nimisha’s passport was illegally confiscated by Mahdi, she tried to get legal aid, but could not succeed. Nimisha gave her a sleep injection to get her passport, but she died. He had no intention of killing.
