In Brief
Pawan Kumar Gupta filed a curative petition against his death sentence conviction. The Supreme Court, sitting as a bench of five judges, rejected the applications for oral hearing and stay of execution. After reviewing the petition and relevant documents, the Court found that no case was made out within the established parameters for entertaining curative petitions as set out in Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra. Accordingly, the curative petition was dismissed, and pending interlocutory applications were disposed of.
