independence. The appellant has trampled these lofty ideals
and traditions of this country under his foot. He extinguished
all members of a family in a most cruel and gruesome manner.
He became instrumental in causing black and unmitigated
tragedy and caused shudders to the society. In causing death
of six members of a family, he acted in a most cruel and
diabolical manner. He used every possible instrument in the
house to cause their death. As the confession goes if knives
would not be enough to kill the inmates, he would use
furniture in the house to strike them, and if that be not enough
he would axe them, and even if that be not enough he would
electrocute them and if still not enough he would strangulate
them. In cruelty and brutality, he exceeded all limits. It is
unimaginable, unthinkable and difficult to believe that after
causing six murders by splashing blood all around the house,
he would sit in the same house for almost five hours as if he
was not siting amongst six dead people, but amongst trophies
won by him in a prestigious event. He has no respect, no care,
no dignity, no mercy for human life. His living in this world
is most dangerous to the society. We need not refer to various
judicial precedents as every case has its own facts, but would
hasten to make reference to only one case which appears
nearest on facts of the present case. In Dayanidhi Bisoi v.
State of Orissa, 2003 Crl.L.J. 3697 (SC), a case which was
based upon circumstantial evidence, accused was related to
the deceased. He was enjoying hospitality and kindness of
deceased in the evening. He killed entire family of deceased
which included a three years child in the night. Murders were
committed when the victims were sleeping and there was no
provocation from the victims. The motive was only to gain
financial benefits. The Supreme Court found it to be case of
cold blooded murder with premeditated approach of accused.
It was held to be a rarest of rare case. The accused was
sentenced to death.”

Feeling aggrieved by his conviction and confirmation of the death
sentence, the appellant preferred Criminal Appeal No. 811 of 2009 in this
Court which was dismissed by a judgment and order dated 22 nd April,
2009. This Court did not at all advert to or discuss the quantum of sentence
R.P. (Crl.) No.245 of 2010 in Crl. Appeal No. 811 of 2009
