None of the grounds raised in the review petition call for review of the judgment dated 05.05.2017.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bench headed by <strong>Banumathi, J<\/strong> held that the contentions assailing the case of the prosecution were all raised earlier and upon consideration of evidence, the same were rejected by this Court. Stating that <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>review petition is not for re-hearing of the appeal on re-appreciation of the evidence over and over again<\/em><\/span>, the Court said that a party is not entitled to seek review of the judgment merely for the purpose of rehearing of the appeal and a fresh decision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">grounds raised in the review petition<\/span> <\/strong>were:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>futility of awarding death sentence in <em>Kalyug<\/em>, where a person is no better than a dead body; and<\/li>\n<li>that the level of pollution in Delhi NCR is so great that life is short anyhow and everyone is aware of what is happening in Delhi NCR in this regard and while so, there is no reason why death penalty should be awarded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court said that <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>it was unfortunate that such grounds were raised in the matter as serious as the present case<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the hearing, the convict\u2019s advocate, Dr. AP Singh had argued <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>that death penalty is a primitive method of punishment<\/strong><\/span> and that\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: #ff0000;\"><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">execution kills the criminals and not the crime<\/em><\/span>. He also said that use of death penalty doesn\u2019t seem to have a deterrent effect to criminals and convicts. He also argued that only the poor and downtrodden are more likely to be sentenced with death sentence. The Court, however, said that<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSuch general contentions put forth against the capital punishment cannot be gone into in this review petition.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the submission that <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>because of the media pressure, the petitioner and other accused have been falsely implicated<\/strong><\/span>, the Court held,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn a criminal case, culpability or otherwise of the accused are based upon appreciation of evidence adduced by the prosecution and also the evidence adduced by the defence. The materials or the news emerging in the media and press as also the news channels cannot be taken note of in arriving at a conclusion on the culpability of the accused or to test credibility of the witness. Such events cannot be urged as a ground for review.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the question of award of death sentence, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Court that <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>there are certain crimes where \u201chumanity cries\u201d and Nirbhaya case was one of them<\/em><\/span>. He added,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>\u201cConvict doesn\u2019t deserve any leniency, God would feel ashamed on creating such monster.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court noticed that <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>the mitigating circumstances elaborated upon by the defence by way of highlighting the comparatively young age of the convicts, their socio-economic background, their unblemished antecedents and their chances of reformation, fade into insignificance<\/em><\/span>. It, hence, held,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn light of the aggravating circumstances and considering that the case falls within the category of \u201crarest of rare cases\u201d, the death penalty is confirmed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the Court held that it found no grounds for review of 2017 verdict upholding death penalty of convict, the convict\u2019s advocate, Dr. AP Singh sought 3-weeks\u2019 time to file mercy petition before President. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, however, countered the submission by saying that\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">one<\/span><\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>week&#8217;s time is prescribed under law for filing mercy petition before President<\/em><\/span>. The bench headed by\u00a0<strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Banumathi, J<\/strong>, however, refrained from expressing view on time frame to file mercy petition and said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>\u201cwhatever time is prescribed under law, convict can avail remedy of filing mercy plea within it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2017\/05\/05\/nirbhaya-case-death-penalty-of-the-4-accused-upheld\/\">The Court had on May 5, 2017, upheld the death sentence of all the four convicts in the brutal December 16 gangrape and murder case<\/a>. The Court, while dismissing the appeal of the four convicts, had said that the crime fell in the rarest of rare category and \u201cshaken the conscience of the society.\u201d Writing down a 429 page long judgment, the 3-judge bench of Dipak Misra, R. Banumathi and Ashok Bhushan, JJ\u00a0 had noticed that attacking the deceased by forcibly disrobing her and committing violent sexual assault by all the appellants; and insertion of rod in her private parts that, inter alia, caused perforation of her intestine which caused sepsis and, ultimately, led to her death, shows that the accused persons had found an \u00a0object for enjoyment in her and, as is evident, they were obsessed with the singular purpose sans any feeling to ravish her as they liked, treat her as they felt and the gross sadistic and beastly instinctual pleasures came to the forefront when they, after ravishing her, thought it to be just a matter of routine to throw her alongwith her friend out of the bus and crush them. The Court said that\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: #ff0000;\"><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">the casual manner with which she was treated and the devilish manner in which they played with her identity and dignity is humanly inconceivable<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court had also\u00a0<a style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2018\/07\/09\/review-petition-of-the-nirbhaya-gangrape-convicts-dismissed-supreme-court\/\">rejected the review petition of the other 3 convicts on July 9, 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Akshay Kumar Singh v.
