New Delhi: A day after a Delhi fast track court sentenced the convicts in the December 2012 Delhi gangrape and murder to death, the defence lawyer is in for trouble for his statement that the sentencing has done under political pressure. AP Singh is representing two of the accused in the infamous Delhi gangrape and murder case.
The Delhi Bar council has taken up his controversial statement saying that the statement amounts to contempt of court and the matter is to be be taken up at the meeting on September 29.
"With a heavy heart I would like to announce that in the Delhi Gangrape case where the trials have been going on for the last 9 months, the Judge has delivered a judgement. The judgement is not based on the facts of the matter but on political pressure. All the convicted have been sentenced to death by hanging," Singh had said.
A fast track court in Delhi on Friday had in a landmark judgement sentenced all the four convicts to death in the Delhi gangrape and murder case. Looking at the gravity of the crime and the inhuman torture meted out to the braveheart, the judge observed it as a rarest of the rare case.
Justice Yogesh Khanna said, "The gravity of the crime depicts the hair-raising beastly and unparalleled behavior. The subjecting of the prosecutrix to inhuman acts of torture before her death had not only shocked the collective conscience but calls for the withdrawal of the protective arm of the community around convicts. This ghastly act of the convicts definitely fits the rarest of the rare category. Hence I am awarding the death penalty to all."
