The Orissa High Court today, May 6, reduced the capital punishment awarded to a man who was convicted by the trial court for committing the rape and murder of a 6-year-old girl in 2018. While sentencing the convict to life, the Division Bench of Justice Sangam Kumar Sahoo and Justice Radha Krishna Pattanaik said, "No material has been produced before us by the learned State counsel that there is no possibility of reformation and rehabilitation. 'Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future' - strikes a note of reformatory potential even in the most ghastly crime. Human endeavour should be to hate the sin and not the sinner. On April 21, 2018, the minor girl was found missing from her home. After efforts failed to trace her, the family learned that the victim was allegedly lying naked on the verandah of a school nearby. The victim, who was in the hospital, remained in a coma for a few days, after which she succumbed to death. Orissa High Court Passes a Landmark Order to Protect Cattle from Animal Cruelty.
