Suhani Aggarwal & Chhayanshi Goyal, BA.LLB (H), Manav Rachna University, Faridabad

ABSTRACT

The death penalty has been a controversial subject in India for many years, with some arguing that it is an effective way to deter serious crimes, while others argue that it violates the right to life. While the death penalty remains a part of the criminal justice system in India, it is likely to remain so in the foreseeable future. It is important to understand the laws and regulations surrounding capital punishment in India in order to ensure that justice is served. There have also been concerns about the fairness and potential for wrongful convictions of defendants. In this Research paper we will review the current state of the art of capital punishment and the current debates and calls for its abolition in India.

Keywords: Capital punishment, debates, death penalty, sexual offences, provisions under law, cases, India, morality, criminal justice system
