<p>CrPc 354https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1266667/</p>
<p>sepecifically</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When the conviction is for an offence punishable with death or, in the alternative, with imprisonment for life or imprisonment for a term of years, the judgment shall state the reasons for the sentence awarded, and, in the case of sentence of death, the special reasons for such sentence.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>does it mean they have to follow the same reasoning in every case ?</p>

<p>It means that they have to provide reasons so an appellate court can review the decision. If they don't, the appellate court will remand the case for a statement or reasons before reconsidering the sentence on appeal.</p>
