Sharma was a lesser criminal than Afjal Guru, his punishment was to match with his starture. Since, even Afjal is not going to be hanged, it was difficult for the judge to award capital punishment to Sharma it seems.

Lifer is the punishment for planning a murder. Since he did ot actually murder, he cannot be hanged. It has no relation to Afzal Guru being hanged or not...

Naturally a responsible and powerful person plotting murder should be be given capital punishment .
