The bench of Justices R Banumathi, Ashok Bhushan and A S Bopanna is hearing the review petition filed by Akshay Kumar Singh, one of the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya...
SG : The lawyers for accused are trying to delay the inevitable. They file some Petition, then file mercy, then withdraw it. I urge your Lordships to decide this at the earliest
SG : Last argument- there are crimes when humanity is put to shame. There are crimes when God cries that this girl could not be saved, and also that monsters were born. There can be no mercy in such a case
Singh's argument that UK etc have taken away death is no argument. As long as it a part of our IPC it's the law
SG : When the earlier reviews came up, and now this one..all of the grounds from trial court onwards have been reproduced verbatim in a cut paste job. No new grounds
SG starts. Court says 10 mins. Mehta says I don't think this matter requires even 10 mins of your time. First the arguments raised have gone through the entire legal process, and cannot be raised at this stage. All these have been considered by all courts
Refers to Modi's words during Mann ki baat to say mothers are scared to allow daughters to go out. The govt must create a society which deals with the manner in which awareness and makes sure society is reformed
One mother gets some solace, other four mothers lose their sons. This is revenge. Real culprit is the society and lack of education. Rapists are not born, but created by society. : A P Singh

J Bhushan- After we have decided the appeal, how can report of 2018 be taken?
