Sheikh Abdul Hamid And Another vs State Of Madhya Pradesh on 4 February, 1998
26.1 In this regard, decision of the Apex Court in the
case of Sheikh Abdul Hamid v. State of M.P., AIR 1998 SC
948, may be profitably looked into. In that case, the
husband murdered his wife and children and buried them in
a room to which none else had an access. The Apex Court,
considering the fact that there was no evidence to show
as to how the incident occurred or to show that it was a
cold blooded murder, deemed it not a fit case for death
sentence.
