It is a bizare scenerio. Neither can you hang him and, hold your breath, nor you can give him a life sentance. The Hon'ble SC holds that a life sentance is meant for life. Therefor, You can not restrict it to 25 years as portugal wants it...at the same time India cannot afford to violate the terms of extradiction either. If she does, she would lose credibility and face charges in the International Court of Justice. Now, if you do not give him life sentance...what else is there to give ? Does the IPC allow any other forms of punishment for murder ?? It will be a very very interesting trial to watch indeed.
