The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce tomorrow its verdict on the review pleas of three out of the four convicts sent to the death row in the 'Nirbhaya' gang rape and murder case.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and justices R Banumathi and Ashok Bhushan is expected to deliver its judgement on the pleas of Mukesh (29), Pawan Gupta (22) and Vinay Sharma (23).

The four death row convict, Akshay Kumar Singh (31), has not filed a review petition against the apex court's May 5, 2017 judgement.

Advocate A P Singh, representing Akshay Kumar Singh, said, "Akshay has not filed a review petition yet. We will be filing it."
