|Delhi 13 June 2025
Will review if life sentences can run back-to-back
-
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to examine whether consecutive life sentences can be handed out to a person convicted twice for the offence of murder.
The issue cropped up when the bench was hearing a plea arising out of a 2015 verdict of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a 2010 double murder case.
A bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manmohan learnt that a five-judge Constitution bench of the Apex court in July 2016 held that while multiple sentences for imprisonment for life can be awarded for multiple murders or other offences punishable with life term, they cannot be directed to run consecutively.
