The 63-year-old judge was among the three judges who were up all night in July 2013, giving a historic hearing to decide on terrorist Yakub Memon’s last-minute appeal against his hanging. Memon was convicted in 1993 Mumbai blasts, in which 257 people were killed.

It was Justice Misra who announced the court’s decision at 5 am: "Stay of death warrant would be a travesty of justice. The plea is dismissed," he said. Memon was hanged two hours later.
