Death Penalty in India – should it stay or go ?


There are dissent notes within the Law Commission itself…



To cite some scenarios :
















Would then such a recommendation be apt ?

  1. Should stay +++.
    And there should be deadline defined for the cases.

  2. As a lawyer, I fully agree with you. It should stay and punishment should be quick. Otherwise it is of no meaning. In India we do not have blood money concept. So law should be uniform for all of us. More than the court, in my opinion we the lawyers should be more responsible and vigilante.

  3. This is India. Does not matter whether capital punishment is there or not. Even if it is there, it takes at least 20 odd years. So, capital punishments are like natural death only.

    But, I agree that at least it should be there. Law commission should look again.

  4. My God! How can they think of removing this? It should stay. There will be public outrage otherwise.

  5. Capital punishment of death penalty should stay. How can someone kill another innocent person and get away? As Mr. Sampath said, it should stay and should be quick (maximum 6 months for investigations etc.).
