The Kerala High Court on Monday sought the views of the convicts in the T. P. Chandrasekharan murder case on the plea to enhance the punishment for them, including death penalty or life imprisonment with a rider that they shall not be given remission before a fixed term in jail.
It was on an appeal filed by K.K. Rema, wife of the slain Revolutionary Marxist Party of India (RMPI) leader T.P. Chandrasekharan, and the State government that a Division Bench consisting of Justices A. K. Jayasankaran Nambiar and Kauser Edappagath sought the views of the convicts.
The Bench, which had earlier upheld the punishment announced by the Kozhikode Additional Sessions Court for the accused, including life imprisonment for 11 accused, had asked all convicts to be present in the High Court on the day.
