Bachan Singh Etc. Etc vs State Of Punjab Etc. Etc on 16 August, 1982
52. It is true the appellants have perpetrated the most brutal act of
rape and murder of a minor child. The offence is a heinous one and
needs strongest condemnation from society. However, nature and gravity
of offence is not the only criteria on which imposition of death penalty
depends. As noted in Bachan Singh (supra) the Court must satisfy its
conscience that the possibility of reformation and rehabilitation of the
convict is completely ruled out and the sentence of life imprisonment is
thereby rendered inadequate. To do so, this court called upon the State
to submit report with regard to conduct of the appellants while they
awaited their final fate in the appeal.
