Supreme Court Stays Execution in 2013 Hyderabad Blasts

Imagine some bad guys set off two bombs in a crowded shopping area in Hyderabad.

Many people got hurt and some died.

Years later, the court gave one of the bad guys, named Asadullah Akhtar, the death penalty.

But, the Supreme Court, which is the highest court, stepped in.

They said, 'Hold on a second!'

and stopped the execution.

They want to look at all the details again, like what the prison officials and doctors think, before making a final decision.

So, for now, Akhtar won't be executed.
