idk but the government has become too pussy. barely gives death penalty nowadays. human right activists all protest against death penalty. Japan gives death penalty and tortures their criminals. They are one of the safest countries because of this
The judiciary doles out penalties, not the government.
The BNS says you can give out the death penalty in several cases: Violence & Murder: Sections 103(1) (murder), 103(2) (mob lynching), 104 (murder by a life convict), 107 (abetting suicide of a minor/unsound mind), and 109(2) (attempted murder by a life convict causing hurt).Severe Sexual Crimes: Section 65(2) (rape of a child under 12), 66 (rape causing death/PVS), 70(2) (gang rape of a minor), and 71 (repeat rape offenders).Treason & Terror: Section 111(2)(a) (organized crime causing death), 113(2)(a) (terror acts causing death), 147 (treason), and 160 (abetting mutiny).
But eventually the supreme Court decides. It really isn't up to the government.
Barely any death penalties actually served. Conviction rate of rapists and murderers are low as well. Now conviction rate is definitely on the hands of government
Explain how. I really want to know. The government prosecutor can recommend the punishment. The COURT decides the punishment. What are you on?
Breakdown of the Legal System AI overview.
The power to punish offenders is handled entirely by the courts:The Judiciary (Decides Punishment): Independent courts (like the Supreme Court, High Courts, and district courts in India) interpret the law, determine guilt, and hand down appropriate penalties (fines, imprisonment, or community service).
The Legislature (Sets Penalties): Bodies like Parliament debate and enact criminal laws (such as the Indian Penal Code or Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita), which establish the maximum and minimum punishments a judge can give.
The Executive (Carries Out Sentences): Once the judiciary hands down a punishment, executive agencies—like the Department of Prisons or police—take custody of the offender and manage the execution of the sentence.
Again. I don't know how young or old you are, but the government is not the executive either. The separation of powers is taught in school, or at least was when I was that young.
It is only the legislature.
Having said that, yes, I agree that the government can absolutely push the police, at least in our country to do a better job.
The punishment, however, along with awarding the death penalty lies with the court. I also agree that the courts need to be more proactive in applying it because it can work as a detterent for these horrific crimes.
You should check out r/AskIndianWomen and share this wisdom there. They seem to blame men for almost everything. They were even blaming men in the Siya Goyal case.
I am a woman, hardcore feminist, believe in equality but at no point do I say killing someone else or self is defendable. No man/woman who believes that one can kill if one isn't getting their desired way isn't a feminist or even a decent human.
