Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)

2018 PCrLJ 959 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDH Judicial Precedent
SentenceQuantum ofAdministration of criminal justiceLenient viewObject and scopePurpose of sentence was to have a balance in the societyPunishment to the accused was awarded on the concept of retribution, reformation or deterrence so as to bring peace

Such goal could only be achieved either by keeping evils away (criminals inside jail) or strengthening the society by reforming the guilty

Law itself had categorized the offences, punishment whereof, with phrase 'not less than' while there were other which were with phrase 'may extend up-to'

Such difference itself was indicative that the courts had to appreciate certain circumstances before setting quantum of punishment; in the later case, which appeared to be dealing with those offences, the guilty whereof might be given an opportunity of reformation by awarding less punishment which how low-so-ever, would be legal

Concept of reformation, however, should be given much weight because sentence did not punish the guilty only but whole of his family/dependents also

Reformed person would not only be a better brick for society but might be helpful for the future by properly raising his dependents.
