Purushottam Dashrath Borate & Anr vs State Of Maharashtra on 8 May, 2015

by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Mukesh (supra)
quoting another judgment of Supreme Court in the case of
Purushottam Dashrath Borate & Anr vs State Of Maharashtra
as reported in (2015) 6 SCC 652, the age of the accused or family

be said to be the mitigating circumstances. It cannot also be
considered as mitigating circumstances particularly taking into

shocking the collective conscience of the community, sympathy in
any form would be misplaced and it would shake the confidence
of public in the administration of criminal justice system.
