Finality may be disturbed only on substantial and compelling grounds. In capital sentencing, the rarest of rare assessment depends on the offence's nature, gravity, and societal impact. A prior acquittal or life sentence, or a dissent favouring acquittal or life imprisonment, does not independently constitute a mitigating circumstance or ground to review a death sentence. Capital-sentence finality remains unless a grave review error is independently established. en-us Tue, 17 Dec 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:28:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471913 Criminal review under Article 137 and Order XL Rule 1 is an exceptional remedy confined to correcting manifest or patent error, glaring omission, or miscarriage of justice; it cannot serve as a rehearing or an appeal in disguise.
