New Delhi: Some people may call it a burning example of the snail-book judicial distribution system, while others may “when he is on its weakest, then can act as a criminal law”.However, anyone can describe it, a person who committed a crime as a hot-head college student, now spends the rest of his life as a sick senior citizen behind bars. SC has now given him the option in life period or seven years in jail.In 1979, 21 -year -old Hari Shankar Rai stabbed 19 -year -old Krishna Kumar, who died of injuries on December 14, 1979 due to a fight related to a union election between two students of Lokmanya Inter College between two students of Lokmanya Inter College in Deuria district of Uttar Pradesh.A person lost his life, should be sufficient punishment for crime: SCIt took Allahabad HC 41 years to challenge the trial court’s decision and decide the appeal filed by the state to demand its punishment for murder. Rai appealed against his sentence. In May last year, HC found sufficient evidence to convict RAI under Section 302 and honored life imprisonment. Rai appealed against SC before the HC decision.A bench of CJI br Gavai and Vinod Chandran of Justice told 67-year-old Rai that even though his sentence for murder was replaced under Section 304-I, he cannot escape only four years of imprisonment. “A person lost his life and whatever happens, there should be adequate punishment for crime,” the CJI said.His lawyer said that the man is now suffering from 67 -year -old diseases and on the basis of mercy that his wife is suffering from cancer, he needs continuous care. But the bench remained firm and refused to bail him during his appeal pendency in SC.The appeal will be rejected in front of a well-made HC decision, refusing to show mercy and warning the convict’s lawyer, CJI Gavai said, “If you agree, we will convey the sentence under 302 under 304-i (not for the murder).”SC also asked the state lawyer Tulika Mukherjee to seek instructions about the current relationship between the families of the victim and the accused.
