Nirbhaya case: Supreme Court rejects curative pleas of two death row convicts
The Supreme Court of India (SC) on January 14 rejected curative petitions filed by two convicts in the Nirbhaya rape and murder case, clearing way for their execution.
A five-judge bench of Justices NV Ramana, Arun Mishra, RF Nariman, R Banumathi and Ashok Bhushan was hearing the pleas.
Curative petitions are decided in-chambers by the judges. It is the last and final legal remedy available to a person.
Mukesh Singh and Vinay Sharma had filed curative petitions in the apex court last week.
