Supreme Court dismisses curative petition of Akshay Kumar Singh, one of the convicts in Delhi 2012 gang-rape case. The lawyer for the death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case today moved a Delhi court seeking a stay on their executions scheduled for February 1, saying legal remedies of some of them are yet to be availed.
