New Delhi: Suleiman Memon, the brother of Yakub Memon who has been sentenced to death for his role in the 1993 Mumbai blasts, on Wednesday said that he had full faith in the judiciary and the almighty.

"I have full faith in judiciary. I have full faith in almighty," said Suleiman Memon.

Meanwhile, Yakub's lawyer Raju Ramachandran refused to comment on the verdict.

The Supreme Court earlier rejected Yakub Memon's petition on his death warrant, paving the way for his execution tomorrow.

He will be hanged inside the Nagpur jail at 7 a.m. tomorrow.

The apex court had earlier dismissed the curative petition of Yakub. A three-judge bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra, Prafulla C. Pant and Amitava Roy said proper procedure was followed in disposing of Yakub's curative petition.

Yakub had earlier today reportedly filed a fresh mercy plea with President Pranab Mukherjee, who had rejected it last year.

Chief Justice of India H.L. Dattu had constituted a larger three-judge bench after a two-judge bench of Justices A.R. Dave and Kurian Joseph yesterday gave a split verdict on Memon's plea. While Justice Dave dismissed his plea without staying the death warrant, Justice Kurian differed and favoured a stay.
