The convict, who was a domestic help, faced multiple charges, including murder, rape, abduction, and destruction of evidence, most of which were subsequently dismissed.
The current conviction pertains to the murder of a 15-year-old girl. The convict filed the curative petition after the Allahabad High Court acquitted him on 12 other charges.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India BR Gavai briefly considered the petition and concluded that it deserves further hearing.
