Saibanna vs State Of Karnataka on 21 April, 2005
8. Mr. A.R. Patil, the learned APP thereafter referred to and relied upon the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Saibanna v. State of Karnataka , wherein also the Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of the appellant, who, while committing the said murders, was on parole in the case of murder of his first wife and was already convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in the said earlier case. Considering all the circumstances the Supreme Court has observed that the High Court was justified and right in coming to the conclusion that the appellant's case bristles with special circumstances requisite for imposition of the death penalty, and as such, the death penalty was upheld.
