It is submitted:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That the omission and commissions on the part of concerned authorities from initiating the execution proceedings and thereby keeping the 4 convicts under constant fear of life threat coupled with allegations of physical torture would have caused untold mental agony, distress to the convicts and may affected the mental stability of the convicts.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It is also highlighted by the Petitioner that the death warrants were issued against the convicts despite the non-exhaustion of all their legal remedies. The allegation of solitary confinement has also been levied against the state.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the Petitioner argues that dealing with the convicts in such a manner violates their fundamental and human rights as enshrined under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>It is further submitted that by dealing with the execution proceedings as per its own whims and fancies, the state has caused mental agony and distress to the convicts by putting them in constant fear of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, allegations of physical torture has also been levelled against the state.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from asking for an inquiry, the Petitioner also wants NHRC to submit a report before the Delhi High Court regarding the Human Rights Violations Committed by the concerned authorities entrusted with the job of executing the death sentence of the four convicts.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the subsequent developments that have taken place in the case, the Petitioner has asked the court to commute the death sentence of all the convicts to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A plea has been moved in Delhi High Court seeking court&#8217;s direction to National Human Rights Commission to conduct an inquiry into the physical and mental conditions of the four convicts in the Nirbhaya rape case.
