The Supreme Court was informed on Thursday (August 14, 2025) that there was "no immediate threat" to Indian nurse Nimisha Priya who is on death row in Yemen for murder. It then listed the matter after eight weeks.
The counsel for petitioner organisation Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council, which is extending legal support to Priya, requested a Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta to adjourn the matter.
The apex court was hearing a plea seeking a direction to the Centre to use diplomatic channels to save the 38-year-old nurse from Palakkad in Kerala who was convicted of murdering her Yemeni business partner in 2017.
“Negotiations are going on. As of now there is no immediate threat. Kindly adjourn it by four weeks. Hopefully, everything will be over by that time,” the counsel said.
"Let this matter be listed after eight weeks," the Bench then said.
