 According toAccording to information published by Amnesty
International in 2012, 97 countries had abolished
capital punishment altogether, 8 had done so for all
offences except under special circumstances, and 36
had not used it for at least 10 years or were under a
moratorium.

6. Capital punishment is a legal but rarely carried out
sentence in INDIA.
The Supreme Court ruled in 1983 that the death penalty
should be imposed only in "the rarest of rare cases."
Crimes which are punishable by death sentence are
 murder,
 gang robbery with murder,
 abetting the suicide of a child
 waging war against the nation, and
 abetting mutiny by a member of the armed forces

 Mohammad Ajmal Kasab- attacking mumbai-21
nov 2012.
 Dhananjoy Chatterjee- rape and murdering 14yr girl
2004
 Balwant Singh Rajoana- involved in killing Punjab
chief minister(Beant Singh)- 31st
March 2012.
 Auto shankar -1995. etc.

8. DEATH PENALTY
 revenge/justice, as a
deterrent to others, to
prevent any danger of re-
offending and it is cheaper
than life imprisonment
where criminal will stay
whole life in prison on tax
payers’ money.
killing someone is always
inhuman and it is like
murdering legally, there is no
evidence of deterrent effect
( indeed the available evidence
seems to show there is no
effect), life without parole is
just as effective a way to
prevent someone re-offending
as finishing them, saving
money can never be a
justification

9. I strongly feel, we have to reform our laws
especially for death penalty. Our laws should be
such that a punishment should be so rigorous
that it should remind not only to the offenders/
terrorists/culprits but also it should be a living
example for the people around him about his
inhuman acts. Each day and night, he should
regret his acts of crime and at the same time it
should act as deterrent.
