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.

Gopal Vinayak Godse vs The State Of Maharashtra And Others on 12 January, 1961

LJ 4017, after referring to the decision of the case of Gopal Vinayak Godse v. State of Maharashtra, (1961) 3 SCR 440 : (AIR 1961 SC 600 : (1961) 1 Cri LJ 736), the Court reiterated that sentence for "imprisonment for life" ordinarily means imprisonment for the whole of the remaining period of the convicted person's natural life; that a convict undergoing such sentence may earn remissions of his part of sentence under the Prison Rules but such remissions in the absence of an order of an appropriate Government remitting the entire balance of his sentence under this section does not entitle the convict to be released automatically before the full life term is served. It was observed that though under the relevant Rules a sentence for imprisonment for life is equated with definite period of 20 years, there is no indefeasible right of such prisoner to be unconditionally released on the expiry of such particular term, including remissions and that is only for the purpose of working out the remissions that the said sentence is equated with definite period and not for any other purpose."
