"If ever a case called for hanging, this was it," said a bench of Justice Dipak Misra, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice R Banumathi. The crime shocked the nation's conscience, the Supreme Court judges said. There were tears in Nirbhaya's mother's eyes when she heard the judges upholding the death sentence. "I am happy the Supreme Court has heard our voice and understood the suffering Nirbhaya underwent," the grieving father said, referring to his daughter by the name given by the media. "It has given justice to Nirbhaya and the entire country."
