INDIA. NO MERCY, BOMB BLAST GUILTY MUST BE HANGED, HIGH COURT

the Delhi High Court, India, showed no mercy to Mohammad Hussain, a man who allegedly planted a bomb in a bus in 1997 during the serial blasts which shocked the Capital. The high court sentenced Hussain to death, upholding the verdict of a lower court.
In a strongly worded judgment, Hussain's plea to set him free was struck down by the bench as the accused was a "menace to society" and did not "deserve to exist on this earth".
"Showing any mercy to people like the appellant would be a mockery of justice... whenever some person is found guilty of this kind of gruesome act and ghastly murder, the penalty of death sentence is the only appropriate punishment and there is no alternative to it," the judges observed. Four people died as a result of the blast.
