JUSTICE FINALLY DELIVERED TO NIRBHAYA – All 4 Death row convicts in Nirbhaya case hanged at Delhi's Tihar Jail at 5:30 am.

“THE COUNTRY’S DAUGHTERS HAVE GOT JUSTICE . THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS…I WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY WHO SUPPORTED US.THE SUN THAT RISES TOMMOROW WILL BE WRITTEN IN HISTORY. I WANT TO THANK JUDICIARY THAT NIRBHAYA GOT JUSTICE TODAY.I WANT TO THANK THE COURT FOR REJECTING THE DELAY TACTICS.FINALLY, I WANT TO THANKTWO OF OUR LAWYERS.I AM SATISFIED TODAY BECAUSE FINALLY OUR DAUGHTER HAS GOT JUSTICE .THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS ASHAMED OF THIS CRIME.TODAY THE NATION HAS GOT JUSTICE”-ASHA DEVI , MOTHER OF NIRBHAYA

More than seven years after a 23-year-old medical student was gang-raped in a moving bus in Delhi, four men convicted for the brutal assault were hanged this morning. The four men — Akshay Kumar Singh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Mukesh Singh — were hanged at 5:30 am at Delhi’s Tihar Jail, hours after the Supreme Court, in a midnight hearing, refused to grant them relief and stay their executions. The four were hanged simultaneously, a first in independent India’s history.

The four men were convicted in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case, a crime that shook the country and forced the government to bring in tougher laws on crime against women. The crime took place on December 16, 2012, when a 23-year-old medical student boarded a bus in Delhi along with her male friend.

On board the bus, the woman and her friend were assaulted by a group of six people. The woman, who was gang-rape, died two weeks later. The brutal nature of the attack led to country-wide protests and forced the government to set up a commission to review the country’s laws on rape and crime and against women. The commission’s review ultimately led to laws prescribing stricter punishments for crimes against women.

Six people were accused of gang-raping and murdering the 23-year-old medical student, who came to be called Nirbhaya. Of the six, one was a juvenile and was convicted by the juvenile justice board. He served three years in a reformation home and was released.

Of the remaining five, one committed suicide in jail. The four others were convicted by a trial court and sentenced to die. The convictions and the death penalties handed to the four men were upheld by the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court.

The last couple of months saw a flurry of petitions being filed by the four convicts. In their pleas, the convicts asked the Supreme Court to review their death sentences. The court rejected all the pleas. The convicts also pleaded for mercy in front of the President. The President rejected all the mercy petitions.

In the last 24 hours, some of the four convicts again moved various courts seeking relief from the death penalty. All the courts, which included the Patiala House Court in Delhi, the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court, refused to intervene and stay the executions.

After the Supreme Court rejected the final plea at around 3:30 am, the four convicts were hanged at Delhi’s Tihar Jail at 5:30 am. Their bodies will now be sent for post-mortem.

Call For Paper:Seminar on Reproductive Health and Surrogacy at Osmania University, Hyderabad [Dec 28-29]

About the University

Osmania University is named after its founder, Nawab Osman Ali Khan, the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad who rather through a farman or Royal Charter, brought the University into existence in 1918. It is the seventh oldest in the Country and third oldest in South India. The Faculty of Law, Osmania University has a glorious history of more than 100 years. The “Law class” was opened in the year 1899 to give instruction in law to students desirous of joining legal profession along with “Judicial Test” classes for Judicial Officers. Thus teaching of Law was in existence even before Osmania University came into existence in the year 1918.

About the Conference:

Osmania University, Department of Law is organising a Two Day National Seminar on Reproductive Health and Surrogacy in India: Law, Policy and Practice.

In India since 2002, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has been recognized as infertility treatment under the Government of India Ministry of Tourism Policy. Through this policy, commercial surrogacy was recognized and even foreigners can seek surrogacy arrangements in India.

But later because of judicial pronouncements and strong opposition from women welfare groups, Indian government prohibited surrogacy arrangements to foreigners in the year 2015. The Government of India also banned the import and export of embryo for commercial surrogacy.

During the pendency of PIL, in Jayashree Wade vs. Union of India, the Indian government has pronounced a novel legislative proposal on surrogacy, Surrogacy Bill, 2016. By the Bill of 2016, Indian government restricted the surrogacy arrangements to infertile Indian married couples only by debarring all foreigners, giving room to controversies to various forums, conflicting interests and constitutional questions.

Moreover under the light of National Legal Services Authority vs. Union of India, in which the Supreme Court recognized transgender as the third gender, the constitutional rights of many people are to be discussed at length.

Themes and Sub-themes:

• Reproductive health under Indian Constitution
• Reproductive rights under International Instruments
• ART as an advancement of Science and Technology
• Surrogacy: Socio, legal and ethical aspects
• Surrogacy: Medical aspects
• Surrogacy contracts and their validity
• Surrogacy: Rights of children
• Judicial response on surrogacy
• Law relating to surrogacy in India
• Any other related aspect

Important dates:

Submission of Abstract: 07-12-2019
Acceptance of Abstract: 10-12-2019
