He said that while sections 3(1)(a) to 3(1)(f) of the Act had listed different terms of imprisonment for offences against ships, fixed platforms and other maritime navigational facilities, section 3(1)(g)(i) provides only death sentence for an offence causing death of any person.He noted that this provision of the act provides for mandatory death sentence to be imposed on any person found guilty under the provision and it completely removes judicial discretion by the courts to provide for any other optional punishment other than death. He stated that the sole punishment of death sentence under this provision violates Article 21 and 14 of the Constitution. TNN
