https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193147 Section 433A of the Code of Criminal Procedure was upheld as constitutionally valid and within Parliament's legislative competence. The Court held that the provision does not offend Articles 14 or 20(1), does not curtail the constitutional clemency powers under Articles 72 and 161, and operates as a specific rule for a defined class of life convicts. It also prevails over inconsistent State remission and short-sentencing laws, while sections 432 and 433 continue to govern statutory remission and commutation subject to that restriction. The provision was construed prospectively, so the fourteen-year actual imprisonment requirement applies only to convictions entered after its commencement. en-us Tue, 11 Nov 1980 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 11:49:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193147 Section 433A of the Code of Criminal Procedure was upheld as constitutionally valid and within Parliament's legislative competence.
