Nirbhaya Case: SC Rejects Vinay Sharma's Plea, States He is Mentally Fit

The SC dismissed Nirbhaya convict Vinay Sharma's plea challenging the rejection of his mercy petition by the President.
The court rejected the plea of Vinay Sharma that he is mentally ill while his medical report suggests that he is stable and healthy.
Vinay Sharma in his plea claimed that all the relevant records were not brought before the President.
However, the center opposed his claim and produced a medical report dated 12th February which said that he was fit and had a 'sound mind.'
The bench of Justices R Banumathi, Ashok Bhushan and A S Bopanna said no ground of judicial review of the rejection of mercy plea is made out in the contention.
