	The case of death sentence
		BIKAS DAS/AP Dhananjoy Chatterjee's wife Purnima, father Bangshidhar Chatterjee, and mother Belarani Chatterjee sitting in a dharna on a pavement in Kolkata on June 21 seeking mercy for the convict.
		But Dhananjoy's life was once again prolonged when a communique from the Union Home Ministry asked the State government to postpone the hanging until President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam gave his opinion on a mercy petition filed by Dhananjoy Chatterjee's family and several social organisations.
		The fact that Dhananjoy's case had been scrutinised at all levels of the judiciary and went through the procedure for pardon only shows that it is in fact one of the rarest of rare cases in which capital punishment has been awarded.

	Death as penalty
		The Dhananjoy Chatterjee case shows that both judicial and non-judicial decisions on a death sentence are guided by public outrage over the gravity of the crime committed.
		In the Dhananjoy Chatterjee case, the Supreme Court's two-member Bench comprising Justices A.S. Anand and N.P. Singh said: "The measure of punishment in a given case must depend upon the atrocity of the crime, the conduct of the criminal and the defenceless and unprotected state of the victim.
		The Bench concluded that Dhananjoy Chatterjee, working as a security guard at the apartment where the victim was residing with her parents, had committed the most heinous type of crime, the rape and murder of a defenceless school-going girl.
