  Abstract


The paper is a critical analysis of the correlation between capital punishment and the basic rights of people in the Indian constitutional and legal framework. The paper builds on the political philosophy and penological theory, especially those of Beccaria, Bentham, and Montesquieu, to question the purpose of the death penalty as a measure of deterring crime or a crime of denying humanity. Using a qualitative analysis of three landmark Indian judicial cases of Jagmohan Singh vs. State of U.P. (1972), Yakub Abdul Razak Memon vs. State of Maharashtra (2015), and Mukesh & Anr. vs. State (NCT of Delhi) & Ors. (2017), the paper provides evidence of inconsistencies in the use of the capital penalty as a system. The latest crime rates in the country according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) show that the death penalty has not proved to be effective in curbing high-profile crimes like terror attacks and rape. The article supports a life imprisonment being a more humane, constitutionally valid, and rehabilitative approach to capital punishment in India.
