      Solution

      It was observed by the Supreme Court that death penalty is Constitutionally valid and it does not constitute unreasonable, cruel and unusual punishment. Death penalty is to be imposed only for special reasons and the rarest of the rare cases. Hence, such provisions cannot be said to be violative of Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution.
