fixed on/for

Post by tamguatlay »

Justice See reiterated that Nagaenthran has been accorded due process in accordance with the law.

However, the judge granted an interim stay of execution pending the hearing of his appeal, which was then fixed on Tuesday afternoon.

Should it be "fixed for" instead of "fixed on"?

Thanks.
