present appeals. 6. Insofar as the prayer made by the learned Senior Counsel for the appellant regarding commutation is concerned, the learned DAG for the respondent-State relies on the following judgments of this Court in the cases of Shivu and Another v. Registrar General, High Court of Karnataka and Another1, Purushottam Dashrath Borate and Another v. State of Maharashtra2, and Deepak Rai v. State of Bihar3, in order to contend that merely the age of the appellant cannot be taken into consideration. He further submits that the appellant taking advantage of the circumstances that the deceased was alone in the house has committed the heinous crime and therefore the present case would squarely fit in the category of ‘rarest of the rare’ cases. He submits that the psychological report would also show that there is no remorse expressed by the appellant. He therefore submits that taking into consideration all these aspects, the death penalty needs to be confirmed. 7. We have perused the material on record and find that (2007) 4 SCC 713 : 2007 INSC 136 (2015) 6 SCC 652 : 2015 INSC 392 3 (2013) 10 SCC 421 : 2013 INSC 638 1 2 4
