1)SC upholds death in Nirbhaya case:- So Finally Justice Delayed was not Justice Denied, The Demons who were involved in 16th December Rape case were ordered to be hanged till death.

What the Supreme Court Said:- “If at all there is a case warranting award of death sentence, it is the present case where human lust was allowed to take such a demonic form”.

There was one important point also :- The Supreme Court's sole woman judge and a member of the Bench which confirmed the death penalty in the Nirbhaya case was Justice R.Banumathi.



2)Centre notiies draft ‘no ly’ rules :-

4)SC warns against delay in enacting anti-torture law:-
SC has once again reminded the Centre to come out with a law where they expicitly consider Torture as a violation of Human Dignity and Liberty.
As this will not only help in the betterment of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution but also has International significance.

India, which signed on the U.N. Convention against Torture way back in 1997, had still not ratified the Convention which defined torture  as a criminal offence.
