7. We have heard counsel for the parties and very carefully examined thecase before us. We are of the view that though this case is one that hasshocked the confidence of the society in the criminal delivery system yet itcannot be said that there is material to suggest probability that the convictSidhartha Vashisht @ Manu Sharma would continue to commit acts of violence thatwould constitute a threat to the society. There is also nothing on record tosuggest that there is no probability that the convict can be reformed orrehabilitated. The murder though intentional having been committed withoutpremeditation we feel justice would be satisfied if we award the sentence ofimprisonment for life to Sidhartha Vashisht @ Manu Sharma. Consequently, wesentence Sidhartha Vashisht @ Manu Sharma for life imprisonment together with afine of Rs.50,000/- to be paid to the family of the victim, if recovered, and indefault of payment of fine he shall undergo further three years of imprisonment.We also sentence him to four years imprisonment and a fine of Rs.2,000/- and indefault three months imprisonment for the offence under Section 27 Arms Act. Wealso sentence him to imprisonment for four years together with a fine ofRs.2,000/- and in default three months of imprisonment under Section 201/120-BIPC.
