Supreme Court upholds life imprisonment till natural death, rejects convicts' plea

The Supreme Court upheld life imprisonment until natural death for heinous crimes. A Bench of Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Augustine George Masih dismissed pleas from convicts like Ramashray. The court said such sentences are valid and do not violate the Constitution, though presidential clemency powers remain fully in effect.
