The State Of Bihar vs Umesh Choudhary And Ors. on 25 January, 2007

70. Keeping in view the aforesaid, when I test the case of the appellants, I do not find anything on record to suggest that appellants are menace to the society who cannot be reformed or rehabilitated and shall constitute a continuing threat to the society. Although the crime committed is heinous and brutal, yet, in my opinion, it does not fall in the category of rarest of the rare cases. Accordingly, I do not find it safe to confirm the sentence of death awarded to the appellants. Following the precedent of the Supreme Court in the case of Prakash Dhawal Khairnar (Patil) (supra), I sentence the appellants to suffer rigorous imprisonment for life with the condition that they shall not be released before completing the actual term of 20 years, including the period already undergone by them.

Ram Anup Singh & Others vs State Of Bihar on 7 August, 2002

In Prakash Dhawal Khairnar (Patil) Vs. State of Maharashtra (2002) 2 SCC 35; the accused gunned down his own brother and his family members and also his mother. The dispute arose on account of the fact that his brother was not willing to partition the joint family properties. This Court held that though it was a heinous and brutal crime, yet it did not fall in the category of the rarest of rare cases. There was no evidence to support that the appellant in that case was a menace to society. There was also no reason to believe that he could not be reformed or rehabilated, and he was likely to continue his criminal acts of violence as would constitute continuing threat to the society. The facts are somewhat similar in this case, and therefore, on a careful consideration of all the relevant circumstances we are of the view that the sentence of death is not warranted in this case. We, therefore, set aside the death sentence awarded by the Trial Court and confirmed by the High Court to appellants Lallan Singh and Babban Singh. We instead sentence them to suffer rigorous imprisonment for life with the condition that they shall not be released before completing an actual term of 20 years including the period already undergone by them.

The State Of Bihar vs Jhari Sharma, Kailash Singh And Rana ... on 30 April, 2007

70. There is nothing on the record to suggest that this accused shall be a menace to the society and can not be rehabilitated and shall be a continuing threat to the society. Although the crime committed is heinous and brutal, yet, in our opinion, it does not fall in the category of the rarest of the rare cases. Accordingly, we do not find it safe to confirm the sentence of death awarded to him. Following the precedent of the Supreme Court in the case of Prakash Dhawal Khairnar (Patil) v.
