The High Court was wrong to believe that a person sentenced to life imprisonment had the right to be released after a 20-year sentence, including remission. In Gopal Vinayak Godse it was held against the state of Maharashtra that life imprisonment is life imprisonment and nothing else and therefore a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment is obliged to spend the rest of his life in prison. But it has not been denied that such a sentence could be commuted or waived by the competent authority, in this logic it was confirmed by a chamber of three judges of the Supreme Court that the Criminal Code and the Rules of Procedure clearly distinguish between life and prison sentences. This was rejected by a broad tribunal of the Bhagirath & Ors vs Delhi Administration and it was found that for the purposes of compensation, conversion and tolerance of sentences under th

Capital Punishment- by Vedant Karia at LexCliq

  Capital Punishment- by Vedant Karia at LexCliq Capital Punishment, also known as the death penalty, is the execution of an offender sentenced to death following a court-ordered conviction of a criminal offence.

Several members of the Constituent Assembly expressed support for abolishing the death penalty during the 1947–1949 drafting of the Indian Constitution, but no such provision was included. Over the next two decades, private members bills to abolish the death penalty were introduced in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, but none were adopted. Between 1950 and 1980, it was estimated that between 3000 and 4000 people were executed. Measuring the number of people sentenced to death and executed between 1980 and the mid-1990s is more difficult. Annually, it is estimated that two o
