In Delhi rape-murder case that shook the nation the youngest of the rapists acted the most barbaric way. Nevertheless he was awarded minimum sentence of imprisonment for 3yrs only because he was a minor (17yrs) when he committed the crime. If a perpetrator of bloodcurdling crime who deserve the highest punishment law can ever provide is let off the hook after a brief stay behind the bar simply because he’s only a few months away from adulthood at the moment of perpetration of crime, the whole judicial process is reduced to a farce. So incase of such gruesome crimes, perpetrator should be treated as an adult and this amendment be given the retrospective effect to retry the youngest culprit in Delhi rape-murder case according to the amended law.
