Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while reviewing the judgment dated 05.05.2017 under Article 137 of the Constitution, reiterated that review in criminal proceedings is permissible only on the ground of an error apparent on the face of the record, as per Order XLVII Rule 1 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013. The Court emphasized that a mere repetition of previously made arguments or minor mistakes do not warrant a review. The petitioner's review application was dismissed, affirming the original conviction and death sentence for the gang rape and murder of a young woman in Delhi.
