Supreme Court<\/strong>: In a last ditch effort to escape the noose, Vinay Kumar Sharma, one of the four men sentenced to death in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case, has filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court on Thursday after a Delhi Court issued death warrants against all 4 convicts and directed that they be hanged on January 22 at 7 am in Tihar jail.<\/p>\n

In his curative plea, which is t<\/em>he last legal remedy available to a convict, <\/em><\/span>Vinay said his young age has been erroneously rejected as a mitigating circumstance.<\/p>\n

“The petitioner’s socio-economic circumstances, number of family dependants including ailing parents, good conduct in jail and probability of reformation have not been adequately considered leading to gross miscarriage of justice,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It said the court’s judgment has relied on factors such as “collective conscience of society” and “public opinion” in deciding the sentence to be imposed on him and others.<\/p>\n

“The impugned judgment is bad in law as subsequent judgments of apex court have definitely changed the law on death sentence in India allowing several convicts similarly placed as him to have their death sentence commuted to life imprisonment,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It further said that after pronouncement of the Nirbhaya judgment in 2017<\/a><\/strong> there have been as many as 17 cases involving rape and murder in which various three-judge benches of the Supreme Court have commuted the death sentence.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old paramedic student, referred to as Nirbhaya, was gang raped and brutally assaulted on the intervening night of December 16-17, 2012 in a moving bus in south Delhi by six people before being thrown out on the road. She died on December 29, 2012 at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.<\/p>\n

One of the six accused in the case, Ram Singh, allegedly committed suicide in the Tihar Jail here.<\/p>\n

On July 9, 2018 , the Court had dismissed the review pleas filed by the three convicts in the case<\/a>, saying no grounds have been made out by them for review of the 2017 verdict.<\/p>\n

On December 18, 2019, the 3-judge bench of R Banumathi, Ashok Bhushan and AS Bopanna, JJ rejected the review petition of the last convict, Akshay Kumar Singh<\/a>, seeking modification and leniency.<\/p>\n

A juvenile, who was among the accused, was convicted by a juvenile justice board and was released from a reformation home after serving a three-year term.<\/p>\n
