The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier judgment affirming the conviction and death sentence of Manoharan for the murder and sexual assault of two minors. The court reiterated the gravity of the offences under Sections 302 and 376 of the IPC, emphasizing the need for stringent punishment in cases involving children. The review petitions were dismissed, upholding the original decision and reinforcing the principles of justice for heinous crimes against minors.
