Additional Sessions Judge Dharmendra Rana said courts can’t afford to discriminate against any convict, including death row convicts, in pursuit of his legal remedies.
Vinay Sharma, along with three others, is set to be executed on 1 February for the December 2012 gangrape and murder. The President has already rejected one of the convict's mercy plea.

There is little evidence to prove that countries which have abolished the death penalty have a greater incidence of crime than those that have retained it.
Rosneft, the Russian state-owned oil behemoth, has large interests in India. Reliance has a contract to purchase 500,000 barrels of crude per day from the firm.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
