A curative petition is the last and final legal remedy available to a person.<\/p>\n<p>The five judges were unanimous that there was no merit in the curative petitions filed by the two condemned petitioners.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The applications for stay of execution of death sentence are also rejected.

In our opinion, no case is made out within the parameters indicated in the decision of this Court in Rupa Ashok Hurra vs. Ashok Hurra &amp; Another, reported in 2002 (4) SCC 388. Hence, the Curative Petitions are dismissed,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The other members of the bench were Justices Arun Mishra, R F Nariman, R Banumathi and Ashok Bhushan.<\/p>\n<p>Vinay and Mukesh had filed curative petitions on January 9.<\/p>\n<p>A Delhi court had on January 7 issued death warrants against the four convicts and said they would be hanged on January 22 at 7 am in Tihar jail.<\/p>\n<p>Two other death-row convicts, Akshay Kumar Singh (31) and Pawan Gupta (25), had not filed curative petitions.<\/p>\n<p>A 23-year-old paramedic student, referred to as Nirbhaya, was gang-raped and brutally assaulted on the intervening night of December 16-17, 2012, in a moving bus in south Delhi by six people before being thrown out on the road.
