DEATH SENTENCE CAN BE IMPOSED ONLY WHEN LIFE IMPRISONMENT APPEARS TO BE AN INAPPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT: SUPREME COURT

While commuting death sentence awarded to a man convicted for rape and murder of a five year old girl, the Supreme Court observed that death sentence must be imposed only when life imprisonment appears to be an altogether inappropriate punishment. The court modified the death penalty awarded to convict and sentenced him to life imprisonment with a minimum 25-year of jail without remission for raping and killing a minor girl in 2015. However the court rejected the plea of the accused for granting him the benefit of the doubt, and said that courts are not obliged to make efforts either to give latitude to the prosecution or loosely construe the law in favour of the accused.

MINOR TURNING HOSTILE WON’T TAKE POCSO ACCUSED OFF HOOK: BOMBAY HIGH COURT AND SAID ONUS ON ACCUSED TO ESTABLISH INNOCENCE

The Bombay High Court has ruled that even if a minor survivor in a sexual assault case turns hostile, under POCSO Act the responsibility is on the accused to establish innocence, and upheld a 10-year jail term given to Govandi youth for aggravated sexual assault in 2013 of a nine-year-old girl. The High Court said that POCSO was a special law, where presumption of guilt was on the accused; it is presumed the accused has committed the crime unless he can prove his innocence beyond doubt.
