Nirbhaya case: One of 4 convicts exploring option of filing curative plea in SC
A lawyer for one of the death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case said on Wednesday that there is still a legal remedy of a curative petition in the Supreme Court before filing mercy petition to the President. Convict Mukesh Kumar's lawyer said that he is examining the option of first filing a curative petition against the apex court order on July 9 last year by which it dismissed his review petition. The statement by the lawyer came soon after the apex court dismissed the plea filed by Akshay Kumar Singh, another convict, seeking review of its 2017 judgment upholding his death penalty. Separately, a Delhi court directed Tihar jail authorities to seek response within a week from the four convicts whether they are filing mercy pleas against their executions with the President of India.
