Death Sentence
When a trial Court awards capital sentence to the convict, the said Court submits the proceedings to the High Court Division for confirmation of the death sentence under section 374 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. The High Court Division may confirm/annul the conviction or pass another sentence or acquit the convict. Law Lab has represented death convicts of sensational murder cases i.e. Ramna Batmul case, BDR case, Nusrat Murder Case, Tuhin Murder Case.
