    D Sentence of imprisonment for life has to be equated to rigorous imprisonment for life Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    It was observed by the Supreme Court that death penalty is Constitutionally valid and it does not constitute unreasonable, cruel and unusual punishment. Death penalty is to be imposed only for special reasons and the rarest of the rare cases. Hence, such provisions cannot be said to be violative of Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution.
