Zee News Dec 18, 2019, 11:48 AM IST,
The Supreme Court is hearing a review plea filed by Akshay Kumar Singh, one of the four men convicted in the 2012 Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case, on December 18. It will pronounce its verdict on Singh’s review plea at 1 pm today. The hearing on Singh’s review plea was delayed by a day on December 17 after Chief Justice of India SA Bobde recused himself from hearing the review plea. CJI SA Bobde recused himself from the case because his nephew had represented Nirbhaya in a court earlier. Akshay Kumar Singh’s review plea will be heard by a new three-judge SC bench today.
