Official index description
Source: Supreme Court official index.
In view of the discussion made hereinabove, the reference is accepted. The judgment and order of conviction and sentence of death passed by the Tribunal is hereby upheld. Accordingly, the criminal appeal is dismissed and the jail appeal is disposed of. But in the evidence of witnesses, we find that the defence very casually cross-examined the prosecution witnesses which is very unwanted. The accused was charged with rape followed by murder which provides capital punishment. In such a case, if the accused is found unable to engage a competent Advocate to defend him, in that case the Court may on its own initiative can appoint an experienced Advocate to defend the accused.
