NEW DELHI: As Tihar Jail authorities supplied the documents sought by the death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape case, a Delhi court on Saturday said “no further directions” were required. The jail authorities had also brought paintings and a notebook belonging to one of the convicts.
The jail authorities, meanwhile, dismissed the claims of the convicts’ lawyer, who had asked for a 170-page diary belonging to a convict. “The authorities have already complied with the request made by the convicts by supplying the documents lying with them... no further directions for supply of any document is required,” said additional sessions judge Ajay Kumar Jain.
About 10 paintings and sketches made by convict Vinay Sharma and his 19-page note book titled ‘Darinda’ and other documents were brought to the courtroom by the authority. The court, consequently, said, “The jail authority is directed to hand over copy of paintings and the note book to the counsel for convicts today in court itself.”
The public prosecutor, appearing for Tihar Jail authorities, earlier submitted that they had supplied all the relevant documents sought by the lawyer of the death row convicts in the case. He also claimed that the convicts were adopting “delaying tactics”.
The prosecutor submitted that the defence’s motive was to defeat the law. “We have already supplied all the documents. We procured all the documents from all the jails where they went,” he said.
The convicts’ lawyer, A P Singh, on the other hand, alleged that though Sharma was being “slow poisoned” and was hospitalised, his medical reports were not made available. The counsel also claimed that Pawan Gupta was beaten and his head was “split open” in Mandoli jail, but his medical documents were not supplied.
Singh had, on Friday, moved a plea on behalf of the death row convicts, seeking their documents from Tihar Jail authorities.
The plea urged the court to direct the authority concerned to provide all required information so that the curative petitions of convicts Pawan Gupta and Akshay Thakur could be filed. The plea also stated that another convict Sharma’s mercy plea could not be filed as his personal diary was not provided. “Sharma wanted to attach his personal original diary containing 170 pages to the mercy petition,” it added.
The Supreme Court had earlier dismissed the curative petitions of Sharma and Mukesh Singh.
