There are lot of laws in India which aimed at reducing and controlling crime, but unfortunately the number of crimes is still rising. Since the penalties are not fair enough for the offence, the offender has no fear of any loss. Any serious offence should have a harsh penalty to lower the crime rate. Every punishment is designed to punish the culprit. In India, there are many different forms of penalties, including the capital punishment, life imprisonment, fines, etc. Capital Punishment is the highest penalty awardable to any accused person. In generic sense, extremely in 'rarest of rare cases' which includes brutal, ridiculous and revolting circumstances. Since the ancient Romans and Greek era, it was mainly in a wide range of offences like treason, murder etc. therefore, many civilised countries have already abolished the death penalty from their judicial system namely Australia, France, Italy, Norway, Portugal and U.K. due to inconsistent with the human rights requirement. Therefore, Capital punishment is an integral part of the Indian criminal justice system and its existence is always questioned immoral. This paper sheds light on the alternative methods of capital punishment. This paper will conclude with the observations of various cases and will endeavour to resolve the question that ' Is Capital Punishment a cruel and inefficacious exercise?' KEYWORDS : Capital Punishment, Alternative resources, Human rights, Death Penalty, wrongdoing, deterrence 1 The author is a student of law at KES Shri Jayantilal H Patel Law College, Mumbai. 1 ISSN: 2583-0384 VOL.3 ISSUE I
