UNB, Gazipur :Dispelling the confusion over the life imprisonment, Chief Justice SK Sinha on Sunday said life term means a sentence unto death.”There’re confusion and misinterpretation about life imprisonment. You think life imprisonment means 30 years. Actually, it’s being misinterpreted. Life term means sentence for whole life,” he said. The chief justice came up the explanation while speaking at a views-exchange meeting with the officials of Kashimpur Central Jail after visiting the prison. Noting that he alone passed dissenting order in the jail killing case, SK Sinha said there proved conspiracy behind the murder.He also lamented that those who had hatched the conspiracy were not punished saying punishment should be meted out to each of those who had masterminded the killings.Inspector General (IG) of Prisons Brig Gen Syed Iftekhar Uddin, Gazipur Deputy Commissioner SM Alam and Police Super Harun Or Rashid were, among others, present at the programme.Earlier, the chief justice visited different units of the jail and talked to the inmates. He also watched two documentaries made on the jail.
