The convicts were informed by the lawyers that they are in the process of filing a remedial petition.
On Monday, the court rejected an application filed by the father of one of those sentenced to death in the Nirbhaya rape case, questioning the credibility of the sole witness, claiming that he was “read” and the F.I.R. A demand was lodged against him.
The sole eye-witness was accompanying the 23-year-old girl when she was raped and murdered by six men on a moving bus on December 16, 2012.
Apart from Pawan Kumar Gupta, three others – Akshay, Vinay, and Mukesh are facing hanging in the case.
Ram Singh, the prime accused in the trial, allegedly committed suicide in Tihar Jail. Another accused was a minor at the time of the crime and was sent to a correctional facility and released after three years.
