Swamy Shraddananda@Murali Monahar ... vs State Of Karnataka on 22 July, 2008

In the light of the aforesaid discussion, I uphold the conviction of appellant Subhasish Ghosh @ Bachchu Ghosh under Sections 376/302/201 of the Indian Penal Code. I also uphold the sentences imposed upon him, save and except modifying the sentence of rigorous imprisonment for rest of his life for commission of offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code to rigorous imprisonment for life as the sentence awarded by the Trial Judge is not one of the sentences which are prescribed for the aforesaid offence in law. The trial court does not have the power to impose life imprisonment which shall be in force for rest of the life of the convict without remission under Cr.P.C. for the 27 offence of murder punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code as such power is exclusively reserved for the High Court in the light of the law declared in Swamy Shraddananda (2) Vs. State of Karnataka, (2008) 13 SCC 767 and affirmed by the Constitution Bench in Union of India Vs. Sriharn, (2016) 7 SCC 1.
