This paper is focused on the effective implementation of United Nation Convention against Torture in India and maintaining harmonious balance between individual liberty and the need of social defense, which can be possible access to mechanism of justice and to prompt redress. Custodial violence continues to be prevalent in India. So far, neither the Indian Penal Code nor the Code of Criminal Procedure Code specifically or comprehensively addresses custodial torture. Torture is a common scenario in the country everyday this inhuman practice is taking place in India, which is not expected because torture represents the uncivilized human society. Thus efforts to bring a standalone law against torture had lapsed. Though India had signed the U.N. Convention Against Torture in 1997, it is yet to ratify. The ratification by India will improve its image as a responsible & a liberal nation & will also improve cooperation in criminal matters.
