Headnote | Review – Clarification sought on quantum of sentence – In judgment dated 19.04.2022 for which review is sought, the petitioner-accused was held guilty and punished for the offences was under ss. 376(2)(i), 376(2)(m) and under s. 376A of IPC as also under s. 5 (i) and s. 5 (m) read with s. 6 of the POCSO Act – In judgment dated 19.04.2022, the Court, while commuting the sentence of death for the sentence of life imprisonment for the offence punishable under s. 302 of IPC, and while imposing sentence to undergo imprisonment for 20 years and not imprisonment for the remainder of his natural life for the offence under s. 376A, IPC tried to balance the scales of retributive justice and restorative justice – If the sentence of life imprisonment was imposed by the Sessions Court and confirmed by the High Court, and also by this Court, then the life imprisonment would mean imprisonment for the remainder of the petitioner’s (original appellant’s) natural life – The Court had consciously imposed the sentence of 20 years for the offence under s. 376A – Therefore appellant-petitioner shall undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of 20 years for the offence – The sentence imposed for the offence under ss. 376(2)(i) and 376(2)(m) of IPC and for the offence under ss. 5(i) and 5(m) read with s. 6 of the POCSO Act is modified, so as to commensurate the said sentences with the sentence imposed for the offence under s. 376A of IPC, and accordingly sentence is imposed directing the petitioner to undergo imprisonment for a period of twenty years instead of life imprisonment for the said offences – The judgment and order dated 19.04.2022 is accordingly corrected and modified to that extent. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
