I’m not a lawyer. But I presume because it’s a sad decision taking by the judge. Not as if there is any written law that they must do it 157 Likes 16 Shares |

I'm not a lawyer but the act is called Breaking the nib. It means such a pen was used to sign the death of person and shouldn't be used for such judgement again. 282 Likes 15 Shares |

I thought that the nib-breaking form of ritual was only a symbolic customs of the Indians..... According to what I heard, Judges have no powers to review/revoke the judgement once it has been written and signed.....the nib is also broken so that the judge may not think of reviewing his own judgement... I don't think it is done in Nigeria. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

1. The practice is symbolic of the belief that a pen which is used to take away a person’s life should not be used ever again for other purposes. In other words, the pen has ‘tasted blood’, and thus it needs to be broken so that it doesn’t take another life. 2. Also, after the judge passes the death sentence, he has no power to review or revoke his order. So once the sentence has been awarded and the judge’s signature inked, the nib is also broken, symbolic of the fact that the judge cannot cancel or rewrite the judgement if he/she has a change of heart or mind. 3. Some are also of the belief that judges simply do away with the ‘tainted’ pen (having ordered the death of a person) as a way of distancing himself/herself from the judgement and the guilt of the same. As seen on q.... Whenever a Judge passes a death sentence, he breaks the nib of his pen to express his compulsions for passing death sentence, under the compelling circumstances; andto ensure that nobody ever commits such heinous offense which invites such social stigma to the offender. nairaman66:Supreme Court judges is the focal point here Nairaman. 29 Likes 7 Shares |
