An inordinate delay would certainly have an agonising effects on their body and mind.In the same year a Constitution bench also held that a review petition by a deathrow convict will be heard by a threejudge bench in open court. Such cases were earlier being considered by twojudge benches in the judges chamber without any oral arguments. Challenges ahead The enormity of the task before the Supreme Court is captured by the fact that trial courts in India have already sentenced more than 50 people to death in 2022 and often in violation of procedural and substantive laws.It is not going to be easy for the Supreme Court to bring about a balance of fairness and consistency in death penalty sentencing across courts in India but the fact that the court has chosen to address it headon is certainly noteworthy and worthy of our appreciation.
