Key Points Bachan Singh v. State of Punjab (1980)

• The Supreme Court, with the majority opinion, had dismissed the appeal. The Court dismissed the challenge to the constitutionality of Section 302 of the IPC in so far as it prescribed the death penalty as one of the punishments, as well as the constitutionality of Section 354(3) of the CrPC, 1973.
• The Court stated that the provision of the death sentence is only an alternative to other punishments prescribed for murder under Section 302 of the IPC, 1860, and cannot be considered unreasonable and not in the public interest since the Parliament had already taken this into consideration while revising the Code of 1898, eventually replacing it with the CrPC, 1973. The Court did not hold the sentence of death penalty as unconstitutional but established the doctrine of the ‘rarest of the rare’, wherein only cases falling under rarest of rare category could be punished with a death sentence, and that too only after the courts provide special reasons for such punishment. 
• The Court also laid down the aggravating and mitigating circumstances that must be considered by the judges while granting a death sentence to any convicted person, emphasising the need to assign proportionate weight to both elements. 
• Section 302 of the IPC, 1860, and Section 354(3) of the CrPC were held to be constitutional and not violative of Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution.
