This life imprisonment for remainder natural appears to be disproportionate as it presumes that there is no chances of reform or reintegration into society but, we have live examples like of FIJI etc., where the convicts suffering transportation started a new life and formed a meaning full society into country above from our vengeance notions as victim, reaffirming, every saint has past, every sinner has future.

When A magistrate can pass sentence only up to twice the amount of sentence he can impose for an offence. How to pass sentence above 6 years in the above case.whether it has to be referred to CJM my lord

[@BeyondLawCLC]

Discussing the scope of section 31 (1) Cr.P.C the illustration given was a case of trial by a court of Session not a Magistrate. A Magistrate of the first class can impose a sentence of imprisonment only upto 3 years. In case he directs consecutive sentence for an offence he can go up to 6 years. If he is of opinion that the accused should receive a more severe sentence than what he can inflict then, after trial, he has to submit the proceedings to the CJM without pronouncing Opined by Justice V Ramkumar, former Judge Kerala High Court.
