Gurdev Singh & Anr vs State Of Punjab on 1 August, 2003
85. Further, in respect of the mitigating factors of lack of
criminal antecedents or probabilities of the appellants to
be menace to the society, we would re-iterate the
observations of this Court in Gurdev Singh v. State of
Punjab, (2003) 7 SCC 258 that it is indeed true that the
underlying principle of our sentencing jurisprudence is
reformation and there is nothing in evidence to show that
the appellants have been a threat or menace to the society
at large besides the FIR regarding the theft of buffalo. It
is also true that we cannot say that they would be a
further menace to the society or not as we live as
creatures saddled with an imperfect ability to predict the
future. Nevertheless, the law prescribes for future, based
upon its knowledge of the past and is being forced to deal
with tomorrow’s problems with yesterday’s tools.
