The Supreme Court on Monday did not immediately stay the bail granted by the Delhi High Court to four men serving a double life sentence for the cold-blooded murder of journalist Soumya Vishwanathan in the national capital while she was returning home from work in 2008.

A Bench of Justices Bela M. Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal however issued notice to the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the four convicts — Ravi Kapoor, Amit Shukla, Baljeet Singh Malik and Ajay Kumar — on the petition filed by Ms. Vishwanathan’s mother challenging the bail order and the suspension of sentence of the convicts.

The court listed the case after two weeks for hearing.
