Hand chopping case: Quantum of punishment on May 8

May 05, 2015 15:06

A special NIA court, which convicted 13 people in the sensational hand chopping case of a college professor in Kerala in 2010, will pronounce the quantum of punishment on May 8.

The prosecution lawyer argued that the convicts don't deserve any mercy as they had indulged in "offence of terrorism" for which they have so far shown "no amount of remorse".

He argued for maximum punishment prescribed under the law to the convicts, of which 10 have been found guilty under various sections of the central law dealing with terror-- the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
