New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday reserved its order on a revision petition filed by the father of one of the convicts in Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case, challenging a magistrate order which had dismissed the application questioning credibility of the sole witness in the matter. Session Judge Ajay Kumar Jain reserved his order after hearing arguments from both the sides and will pass an order in the matter at 4 pm today. The petition was filed by the father of convict Pawan Kumar Gupta.

Recently, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Sudhir Kumar Sirohi had dismissed an application filed by the convict's parents alleging that the sole witness in the Nirbhaya case was tutored and is not credible as he took a bribe to give interviews to news channels. During the arguments, public prosecutor advocate Irfan Ahmed submitted that the petition is not maintainable and needs to be rejected.
