The Supreme Court of India (SC), on January 20, rejected a petition filed by Pawan Gupta, a death row convict in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case. Gupta moved the apex court on January 17 challenging the High Court's order that dismissed his claim of being a juvenile in December 2012. The top court said that the plea had already been rejected by subordinate courts and that Gupta cannot raise it repeatedly.
