5. In case titled Dhananjoy Chatterjee vs State, (1994)2 SCC 220 it has been observed by Hon'ble Supreme Court that "The measure of punishment in a given case must depend upon the atrocity of the crime, the conduct of the criminal and the defenceless and unprotected state of the victim. Imposition of appropriate punishment is manner in which the court responds to the society's cry for justice against criminals. Justice demands that courts should impose punishment befitting the crime so that the courts reflect public abhorrence of the crime. The courts must not only keep in view the rights of the criminal but also the rights of the victim of the crime and the society at large while considering imposition of appropriate punishment."
