On March 5, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court delivered verdicts in three different death penalty cases. D. In two of those the court entirely exonerated the suspects. E. Individually read, the judgments typify the deep confusion that pervades India’s criminal justice system. F. It also shows how the fundamental requirement of precision in criminal law has been replaced by a cry for avenging crime by invoking the “collective conscience” of society.Solution
The passage talks about the judgements pronounced by the Supreme Court in death penalty cases. Statement C is the first statement as it introduces the topic. Statement B and D state what were the judgements pronounced in the three cases. D follows C as ‘those cases’ in D refers to the three cases mentioned in C. Also, B starts with ‘but’ which means that the idea expressed in it is in contrast with the idea expressed in its preceding statement. Since B states that in one of the cases the death penalty was given, the statement preceding it should say that the death penalty was not given. Only D fulfils that condition. Therefore, D follows C and B follows D and DB is a mandatory pair. Statements A and E state the problem with the death penalty cases. E precedes A as it talks about the cases individually whereas A talks about the cases collectively. Also, EA is a mandatory pair. Finally, F is the final statement. Therefore, the sequence is CDBEA-F.
