Supreme Court nixes government's plea for norms to make sentences victim-centric; calls it without merit
The Supreme Court rejected the government's plea for victim-centric sentencing guidelines, particularly for death penalty cases. The Centre had sought to prioritise victims and society over accused-centric considerations and introduce strict timelines for appeals and mercy petitions. The court found the plea without merit, upholding existing judicial precedents.
