DATE (ADVOCATE FOR PETITIONER)


To,

The Honorable Chief Justice and his Companion Judges of the

Supreme Court of India

The Humble Petition of the Petitioner above-named

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

The name of the petitioner is Prasanna Guruparam P, who is a law abiding citizen of

India. He is pursuing his B.A LLB Degree in Tamil Nadu National Law School, Trichy. He is

very much interested in the field of law and aiming to become a renowned lawyer. The petitioner

wants to notify that he is from a well-educated family who discharge their duties on time and

never fail to pay their taxes. The petitioner also reminds that they would not hesitate to protest

against any conflicts that affect the welfare of the society.

The petitioner wants to notify that till now he has not relieved from the bitter memories

of 2012 tragedy. The petitioner is shocked by the incident and is ashamed of himself belonging to

the mankind which is responsible for this brutal and barbarian act. The largest democracy, India

ranks fifth amongst the countries with maximum rape cases. Crime against women has rocketed

up by 7.5% since 2010 says National Crime Records Bureau of India.

These atrocities continue even after the tragic Nirbhaya incident which made millions of

people around the world dumbstruck which symbolizes the sluggish judicial system and fragile

system of laws of India. Nearly 583 rape cases were filed in Delhi in the year 2013 which
reflects the inadequate security for women in India. Facts say that for every 20 minutes a girl is

raped in India where one of the three rape victims is under 18 and one of ten victims is under 14.

Nearly 33,707 rape cases were filed in India where Madhya Pradesh tops the list pushing

back Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Coming to the case Jyoti Singh Pandey a 23 year old physiotherapy intern was returning

home with her friend Awindra Pratap Pandey after watching the movie Life of Pi in Saket, South

Delhi. They boarded an off duty charter bus at Munirka around 9:30 pm. There were six men

including a minor who persuaded the two that bus was going to their destination. Jyotis friend

grew suspicious as the bus deviated from the normal route and enquired the man for which he

was brutally assaulted with an iron rod. Then Jyoti was taken to the rear of the bus and was raped

while the driver continued to drive the bus. Her medical reports shows that she sustained

abdominal, intestinal and genital injuries and traces of penetration of a blunt object which later

was found to be a wheel jack handle. Both the victims were then thrown off from the running

bus. Awindra Pratap suffered serious injuries but survived. Jyoti died fifteen days after the tragic

incident.

This incident caused unrest among the people which resulted in the serious protests

demanding death sentence for the accused but the Supreme Court has stayed the execution of the

convicts. The absurd comments given by one of the convicts and advocate of the defendants ML

Sharma and AP Singh rubbed salt in the injuries. The deceaseds mother helplessly asks, Why

the Government cant take action against the lawyers who talk bad about my daughter?

Moreover to this Leslee Udwins documentary Indias daughter was banned by the Indian

Government. It is a shame that the so called largest democracy in the world cannot render justice
to its citizen even when the scene is clear who needs to be punished. Till now from December

2014 the Supreme Court has never handed down their decision.

A judicial committee was set up which took public suggestion to amend laws and for

quick investigation but crime against women has never decreased as mentioned above. The

deceaseds father states with utmost pity that he is unable to bring justice to her daughters death

which the society has witnessed these years.

Thus the petitioner humbly submits that the Supreme Court of India should take into account

of the sufferings the victims parents would have gone through and the income she would have

earned in her life time and provide life time pension to them which I firmly believe that it would

console their hearts though it may not replace their daughter.
