Mukesh & Anr vs State For Nct Of Delhi & Ors on 5 May, 2017

Neutral Citation No. ( 2025:JHHC:12687-DB )
learned counsel appearing on behalf of the
accused is not in a position to point out any
mitigating circumstance which warrants
commutation of death sentence to the life
imprisonment. In the present case, the
accused has killed six innocent persons, out
of which two were minors -- below 10 years
of age. Almost, all the family members of PW
5 were done to death in a diabolical and
dastardly manner. Fortunately, or
unfortunately, only one person of the family
of PW 5 could survive. In the present case,
the accused has killed six innocent persons
in a pre-planned manner. The convict
meticulously planned the time. He first
kidnapped three persons by way of
deception and took them to the canal and
after drugging them with sleeping tablets,
pushed them in the canal at midnight to
ensure that the crime is not detected. That,
thereafter he killed another three persons in
the second stage/instalment. Therefore,
considering the law laid down by this Court
in Mukesh v. State (NCT of Delhi), the case
would fall in the category of the "rarest of
rare case" warranting death
sentence/capital punishment. The
aggravating circumstances are in favour of
the prosecution and against the accused.
Therefore, striking a balance between the
aggravating and mitigating circumstances,
we are of the opinion that the aggravating
circumstance would tilt the balance in favour
of capital punishment. In the facts and
circumstances of the case, we are of the
opinion that there is no alternative
punishment suitable, except the death
sentence. The crime is committed with
extremist brutality and the collective
conscience of the society would be shocked.
Therefore, we are of the opinion that the
capital punishment/death sentence
imposed by the learned Sessions Court and
confirmed by the High Court does not
warrant any interference by this Court.
