31:28Now PlayingIn this episode of The Urban Debate with Shreya Dhoundial, we will deliberate on the Supreme Court's decision to acquit three rape convicts in the 2012 Chhawla rape case.
On Monday, the Supreme Court overturned the death sentences of three defendants convicted of gang-raping and killing a 19-year-old woman in Delhi's Chhawla neighborhood in 2012. According to the court's order, the "rights of the appellants-accused to a fair trial were denied of them." In February 2012, the woman was allegedly kidnapped, subjected to gang rapes, and then brutally murdered by the three inmates. Three days after her kidnapping, her mangled body was discovered. A trial Court in February 2014 awarded the death penalty to the three men stating the case 'rarest-of-rare.' Releasing three rape convicts, the top court said, 'It may be true that if the accused involved in the heinous crime go unpunished or are acquitted, a kind of agony and frustration may be caused to society in general and to the family of the victim in particular. However, the law does not permit the courts to punish the accused based on moral conviction or suspicion alone.'
Advocate Charu Wali Khanna said, 'Supreme Court acquitted all convicts on general baseless grounds. I don't think there were any lapses in the probe by Delhi Police'.
