Vasanta Sampat Dupare v. Union of India | Death Penalty Reconsideration | Top 100 Judgments CLAT PG

Описание: In this lecture from our Top 100 Judgments for CLAT PG 2026, we break down the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Vasanta Sampat Dupare v. Union of India (2025 INSC 1043).

This case reshaped capital punishment jurisprudence by holding that:

Article 32 petitions can reopen the sentencing stage in death penalty cases even after finality of conviction, appeal, and mercy petition.

The Manoj v. State of Madhya Pradesh (2022) framework applies retrospectively, making detailed sentencing hearings with psychiatric, psychological, and mitigation reports mandatory.

Conviction remains final, but sentencing must comply with Articles 14 & 21 to ensure fairness, proportionality, and scope for rehabilitation.


👉 Why it matters for CLAT PG 2026:

Strengthens the doctrine of individualised sentencing.

Balances judicial finality with constitutional morality.

Opens a new path for constitutional scrutiny of death sentences.


This judgment is a must-know for anyone targeting CLAT PG, AILET PG, UPSC Law Optional, and judiciary exams, especially in the areas of Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Fundamental Rights.

📌 Watch till the end for detailed exam takeaways, reasoning of the Court, and link with the Manoj precedent.
