“I am convinced that it is indeed a rarest of rare case which demands capital punishment. How could the judgment come to the conclusion that it is not a rarest of the rare case?

We want and insist upon the death penalty in this most sinister and sensitive case.
Recently, in the last 3/ 4 months, we have been able to ensure capital/ maximum punishment for convicts in such crimes. Then, why, in this case, has capital punishment not been awarded?
I strongly feel that it is a heinous crime that warrants capital punishment . We will plead for capital punishment of the convict at the High Court now”.
