death penalty

A recent Calcutta High Court commutation of the death penalty in a brutal rape and murder of a five-year old raises some moral questions. Despite this being a legally sound judgment, there might remain some societal questions that beg answers. Also, the efficacy of the Act might need a study

The answer has been provided by Judge Anirban Das, Additional Sessions Judge, 1st Court, Sealdah, South 24 Parganas, in his well written and  commendable judgment. The judge remained steadfast and focused, in the face of tremendous public pressure, and the horrendous nature of the crime, and delivered justice to Sanjay Roy by saving his life
