Md. Alfaz Ali vs The State Of Assam

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the propriety of specifying rigorous imprisonment while imposing a life sentence under Section 302 IPC. The court noted that the petitioner, convicted for the murder of his wife, had previously appealed against his conviction, which was dismissed by the High Court. The court ultimately upheld the conviction but clarified the implications of the life sentence in relation to the rigorous imprisonment specification.
