Supreme Court Review Petition  

Akshay Kumar Singh, one of the convicts in Nirbhaya case has filed a review petition against the death sentence in the Supreme Court. If the court rejects the plea, he will be left with the only option to plead for mercy with the President. This comes a few days after the home ministry recommended President Ram Nath Kovind to reject the mercy plea filed by another accused Vinay Kumar.

Supreme Court decided to hear review petitions in open court starting January 22. There's no stay on the earlier judgment regarding women's entry into Sabarimala.

A total of 19 review petitions have been brought before the court. The case will be heard next on October 23.
 

The Nair Service Society, on Thursday, said it would file a review petition in the Supreme Court against its order permitting women of all age groups to enter the Lord Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala.
