| Son gets death sentence for brutally killing his mother | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 15: Principal District and Session Judge Udhampur Haq Nawaz Zargar has awarded a death sentence to a man for brutally killing his aged helpless mother for a piece of land.
After hearing Public Prosecutor and counsel for the accused and considering the statement of prosecution witness one and two who being the son and wife of the accused and also the circumstantial evidence in the form of a disclosure statement of the accused, the recoveries made on the basis disclosure statement and other circumstantial evidence, which the prosecution has produced and proved before this Court, it is well established and proved that the accused has committed the offense.
“This establishes that the crime has been committed most brutally by the convict and the deceased was none other than the one who had given birth to the convict. The deceased was a hapless and helpless widow and was unarmed without offering any resistance or provocation to the convict at the time of occurrence”, the court observed.
It is clear that the instant crime has been committed for the reason that the convict was demanding two kanal of land from the deceased besides asking her to reside with the other son Mulakh Raj. Such kinds of crimes besides being antisocial, shock the very conscious of the society where the relation of mothers are taken on the highest pedestal on moral as well as religious grounds. Cases of such nature arose intense and extreme indignation of society, which ultimately gives ample power to the Courts to award maximum punishment for the commission of such acts by the wrongdoers.
Thus, on the existence of aforesaid mitigating and aggravating circumstances and evaluation thereof, this Court finds that the aggravating circumstances are much grave and serious than the mitigating circumstances. As such the instant case falls within the ambit of "rarest of rare cases" and therefore, in my pensive opinion the accused Jeet Singh does not deserves any leniency in the sentences to be awarded to him except sending the convict to the gallows would be adequate. |
