New Delhi/IBNS: A Delhi court on Monday stayed the execution of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya gangrape case.

The executions were scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

The executions have now been deferred until further orders.

Nirbhaya's mother Asha Devi told media: "This delay is continuously showing the inefficiency of our system."

Meanwhile, President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday rejected the mercy plea of Nirbhaya gangrape convict Pawan Gupta, sources here told UNI news agency.

Pawan, along with three other convicts, is scheduled to hang at Delhi's Tihar jail on March 3.

Earlier on Monday, the Supreme Court also rejected a curative petition filed by him in the sensational gangrape and murder of a 23-year-old physiotherapist in December 2012.
