Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier order dismissing Special Leave Petition (Crl.) No. 111 of 2015, which challenged the death penalty under Sections 302, 376(2)(g), 201, and 363 IPC. The Court established that in cases involving death sentences, a detailed examination with reasons is essential before dismissal. Consequently, the review petition was allowed, and the Special Leave Petition was restored for further consideration.
