https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=178221 Section 433A of the Code of Criminal Procedure was upheld as a valid restriction on statutory remission and commutation for the specified class of life convicts; it was not a colourable enactment and could not be narrowed by reference to unpassed linked amendments. The provision was held to leave intact the constitutional clemency powers of the President and Governor under Articles 72 and 161, while restricting only relief under Sections 432 and 433.
