The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the petition of 2012 Delhi gangrape convict Mukesh Singh who challenged the decision of the President of India to reject his mercy plea. Pronouncing the verdict, justice R Banumathi said there was no merit in the contention that all material pertaining to the mercy plea was not placed before the President of India. On Tuesday, Singh's lawyer Anjana Prakash told the apex court that the convict was sexually abused in Tihar Jail.
