Dec 16 gangrape SC gives 4th convict three weeks to file review petition Update The Supreme Court on Friday reserved its order on the review petition filed by the December 16 gang-rape and murder case death row convicts, Pawan (22), Vinay Sharma (23) and Mukesh (29). However, the apex court today granted three weeks time to the fourth convict, Akshay Thakur (31), for filing a review petition in connection with the case.
Lawyer AP Singh, appearing for convicts - Pawan and Vinay, submitted before the three-judge bench that the investigation in the case has been flawed and sought lesser punishment.According to court records, the number of sexual assault-related cases awaiting a trial date in 2016 totaled 15,450, with the courts resolving just 1395, or less than 10%.
