Nirbhaya case: SC to hear plea on Jan. 14
12/01/2020, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT,NEW DELHI

A five-judge Bench led by Justice N.V. Ramana will examine the curative petitions filed by two Nirbhaya gang-rape case convicts, Vinay Sharma and Mukesh, on January 14.

The other judges on the Bench are Justices Arun Mishra, Rohinton Nariman, R. Banumathi and Ashok Bhushan. The judges will examine the petitions in their chambers at 1.45 p.m. and decide to either accept or reject them. The curative petitions were filed by both convicts on January 9, just days after a Delhi sessions court scheduled the execution of all the four convicts for January 22, at Tihar Jail.

Sharma and Mukesh, in separate petitions, said there had been a sea change in the death penalty jurisprudence since their convictions.
