Question

Are you for or against capital punishment? Explain your answer

Answer 1

Capital punishment

As we know that Capital punishment, also called death penalty. The term death penalty is sometimes used interchangeably with capital punishment, though imposition of the penalty is not always followed by execution (even when it is upheld on appeal), because of the possibility of commutation to life imprisonment.

  It is not very easy to justify in favour or against the capital punishment because there are many scholers who gave their views on this topic. It totally depends on crime a person does, capital punishment is a legal penalty in India. It has been carried out in five instances since 1995. At least 100 people in 2007, 38 in 2006, 77 in 2005, 24 in 2002, and 32 in 2001 were sentenced to death (but not executed), About 26 mercy petitions are pending before the president, some of them from 1992. These include those of Khalistan Liberation Force terrorist Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, and Praveen Kumar for killing four members of his family in Mangalore in 1994, the cases of slain forest bandit Veerappan's four associates—Simon, Gnanaprakasham, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilvendran—for killing 21 policemen in 1993, they are also not executed. If guilty done such crime which justify death penalty then definitely, example if someone did rape or killed someone only for there cruel benefits then definitely that person get death penalty.But it must me properly proved by prosecution first. In society, punishment for crime is carried out by a criminal justice system (police, courts, and prisons). In both systems, one solid rule of thumb can be derived: if you do something wrong, you will pay for it.
