Death or imprisonment for life

Detailed explanation-1: -The court sentences the offender based on his crime. This includes life imprisonment or imprisonment for a few years in addition to death. The Supreme Court had clarified that life imprisonment means living in jail for life. It cannot be considered 14 years.
Detailed explanation-2: -After 14 years, the state government can release the prisoner at any time based on the prisoners behaviour, illness, family problems or other reasons. The idea that life imprisonment being thought as 14 year imprisonment is wrong. The penalty is not 14 years but rather until the prisoner breathes his last breath.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Supreme Court of India defined life imprisonment as confinement for the balance of the convict’s natural life in the case of Bhagirath and Ors v. Delhi Administration (1985). If a person is sentenced to life in prison, he must serve a minimum of 14 years there and a maximum of their entire life.
Detailed explanation-4: -India Code: Section Details. Whoever commits murder shall be punished with death or 1 [imprisonment for life], and shall also be liable to fine.
