Gulab Chand vs State Of Madhya Pradesh on 28 March, 1995
In drawing
the above conclusion we have drawn sustenance from the
judgment of this Court in Gulab Chand Vs. State of M.P. 1995
3 SCC 574, We hasten to add that the other incriminating
circumstances detailed earlier reinforce the above
conclusions, rightly drawn by the Courts below. We
therefore find no hesitation in upholding the convictions as
recorded by the trial Court and affirmed by the High Court.

Bachan Singh vs State Of Punjab on 9 May, 1980
10. That brings us to the last contention of Mr. Jain that
in any case the appellants did not deserve the sentence of
death. From the judgments of the Courts below we notice that
in awarding the death sentence the trial Court and in
confirming the same the High Court were considerably moved
by the facts that the victims were helpless and innocent and
that the appellants committed the gruesome murders for some
gain. While there cannot be any manner of doubt that the
murders were ghastly and in committing them Mukund betrayed
his trust we did not think this case to be one of the
'rarest of rare cases' as exampled in Bachan Singh vs. State
of Punjab 1980 (2) SCC 684 and Machhi Singh vs. State of
Punjab 1983 (3) SCC 470. We, therefore, commute the sentence
of death imposed upon the appellants for their conviction
under Sections 302/34 IPC to imprisonment for life but
maintain the sentences imposed for the other convictions.
