Since death sentence is the only sentence that cannot be revoked once executed, courts always remain in dilemma at the time of dealing with cases of death penalty. Besides that voice from some quorters used to be raised from time to time that there is no consistency in the approach of courts in awarding death sentence.

Though in criminal matters it is seldom to find two cases having identical facts, yet efforts have been made to categorise cases with similar facts, which will render immense help to reader to distinguish a case from another case.
