Key legal question
Whether early execution under Art. 236 StPO was permissible despite no full confession and a pending psychiatric report.
Extracted holding
The procedural stage allowed early execution; lack of a full confession did not bar it, and the remaining risk of collusion was not high enough to defeat the purpose of the measure.
Extracted reasoning
The investigation and first-instance hearing were completed, all necessary confrontation hearings had taken place, and only the psychiatric report remained. Further questioning was unlikely. The absence of a full confession may matter for assessing collusion risk, but it is not a statutory prerequisite.
