The Supreme Court earlier this month dismissed review petitions against its November 2022 judgment acquitting the three death-row convicts in the 2012 Chhawla gangrape and murder case.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday commuted the death sentence awarded to Sundarrajan who was found guilty of kidnapping and murdering a 7-year-old boy in 2009.
