Applicants failed to prove a causal link or provide medical evidence that whipping as statutorily prescribed causes death or violates Arts 5 or 8; r137 review was permissible because factual substratum (Zaidi’s death) was unavailable at resentencing; on merits the amended provisions (s39B DDA, s302 Penal Code read with CPC safeguards) are constitutional and proportionate; Art 8(2) challenge fails.
