The Supreme Court rejected the wind appeal for being underage

New delhi date. January 20, 2020, Monday

The hanging of Nirbhaya criminals on February 1 paved the way, the Supreme Court rejected a special wind petition petition.

Which can now be hanged 10 days later. Pawan argued that I was a teenager when this happened, and that I should be given the benefit. The Supreme Court, however, rejected the arguments.

Pawan's lawyer AP Singh said that according to Pawan's school living, when the incident happened with Nirbhaya, he was a minor. And while the trial was going on in the lower court, the high court, not a single court had examined the wind documents and sentenced them.

When present on behalf of Delhi Police, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that when the incident took place, the offender was 19 years old. And he also has a certified copy which includes his birth certificate. Pawan filed a petition in the Supreme Court on Friday, having earlier rejected the same petition by the High Court and now the Supreme Court has also rejected.

On Friday, a Delhi court had issued a new death warrant for hanging all the four criminals. According to the death warrant, Vinay, Pawan, Mukesh and Akshay will be hanged on February 1. Ashok Bhushan, Supreme Court Judge R Bhanumati S. Bopanna's bench heard the appeal though dismissing the petition.

The Solicitor General also claimed that if the wind was truly underage at the time of the incident, why did he hide it for so many years and not make it public? Why weren't these arguments against the wind when the trial was going on in court? And whatever documents he has submitted earlier in the wind clearly prove that he was not under the age of 19 at the time of the incident.
