The Supreme Court of India (SCI) Wednesday Dec 18,2019 rejected the review petition of Akshay Kumar Singh, one of the convicts in the 2012 Delhi gangrape case
A three-judge bench headed by Justice R Banumathi said there are no grounds to review the verdict and the contentions raised by convict Akshay Kumar Singh were already considered by the top court in the main judgement.
Akshay had moved the top court seeking clemency on the ground that the "rising pollution" has already increased the mortality rates.
Nirbhaya's mother Asha Devi said she is very happy with the SCI's order.
The SCI said whatever time is prescribed under law, convict can avail remedy of filing mercy plea within it
Nirbhaya's killer Akshay Kumar Singh will file mercy petition before President. He has 3-week time.
