Rajasthan HC Commutes Death Penalty Citing Long Delay After The Crime
07 Dec 2019 01:40 pm
Even while remarking that if a list of all heinous crimes committed in the history of mankind was to be prepared, the incident at hand would rate amongst the top hundred, the Rajasthan High Court on Thursday commuted the capital punishment awarded to five convicts in a ten years old murder case.
The division bench of Justice Sandeep Mehta and Justice Vinit Kumar Mathur said,
"…more than 10 years have passed by since the crime was committed. Thus, we feel that indulging in an exercise of evaluating the mitigating and aggravating circumstances at this extremely delayed stage is not called for. Hence, we have to say albeit with a heavy heart that the death penalty imposed upon the accused by the trial court cannot be confirmed."
The court was jointly adjudicating upon a reference for confirmation of death sentence forwarded by the Additional Sessions Judge, Pali, who had convicted and sentenced the accused Shahabuddin, Shakoor Khan, Kalu Khan, Usman Khan and Rahim Bux to capital punishment and other terms of imprisonment under Sections 147-149, 302 of IPC and Sections 4 and 25 of the Arms Act, and an appeal against the said sentence, preferred by the Appellant-accused.
