Former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju on Friday said that the apex court had “grievously erred by law” in the Soumya rape and murder case in which the death sentence of the accused Govindacahamy was commuted.
In a Facebook post, he said: “The Supreme Court has grievously erred by law by not holding Govindachamy guilty of murder.”
The Supreme Court had yesterday quashed Govindachamy’s death penalty, but upheld life imprisonment for raping 23-year-old Soumya on February 1, 2011.
The death penalty had been imposed by a fast track court in Thrissur, which was later upheld by the Kerala High Court.
