The soldier was sentenced to death in 1991 for a double murder, and the case has meandered/languished since then through the High Court, Supreme Court and Armed Forces Tribunal. The High Court and AFT dismissed the soldier's appeal for non-prosecution. Now a 2-judge bench of the Supreme Court has stepped in.
Quaere: what is the duty of a reviewing court when counsel for a capital defendant repeatedly drops the ball?
