Bachan Singh Etc. Etc vs State Of Punjab Etc. Etc on 16 August, 1982

In Panchhi v. State of U.P., it has been observed that the brutality of the manner in which the murder was perpetrated may not be the sole ground for judging whether the case is one of the 'rarest of rate cases', as indicated in Bachan Singh v. State of Punjab and that every murder being per se brutal, the distinguishing factors should really be the mitigating or aggravating features surrounding the murder. The intensity of bitterness, which prevailed, and the escalation of simmering thoughts into a thirst for revenge or retaliation were held to be also a relevant factor."

State Of Rajasthan vs Kheraj Ram on 22 August, 2003

In State of Rajasthan v. Kheraj Ram, the accused deliberately planned and executed his two innocent children, wife and brother-in-law when they were sleeping at night. There was no remorse for such a gruesome act which was indicated by the calmness with which he was smoking "chilam" after the commission of the act. As it was preplanned and after the entire chain of events and circumstances were comprehended, the inevitable conclusion, was that the accused acted in the most cruel and inhuman manner and the murder was committed in an extremely brutal, grotesque, diabolical, revolting and dastardly manner.
