SC Upholds Life Sentence In Murder Case, Cites Grave Intent And Cruelty

The Supreme Court upheld a life sentence for a UDF sympathizer convicted of murdering an LDF worker in 2006. The court emphasized that targeting vital organs in a group setting reflects cruelty and intent, requiring a strict punitive response. The bench rejected the appellant’s plea for leniency, highlighting the far-reaching social consequences of politically motivated crimes and the sanctity of life.
