New Delhi: The Supreme Court Wednesday dismissed the petition of death row convict Mukesh Kumar Singh in the Nirbhaya case challenging the rejection of his mercy plea by the President, and said that its "quick consideration" and "swift rejection" does not suggest non-application of mind or it being pre-determined.

Later, another convict, Akshay Kumar Singh, 31, filed a curative petition. The SC will hear the plea on Thursday.
