The present condition in India is such that one
should support the abolishing of capital punishment in all cases, except for cases
in which public conscience and national security is at stake. Crimes such as
treason, rape and mutiny tend to create public outrage in the society. The
Supreme Court in its landmark judgment and the legislature in amending the Code
of Criminal Procedure in 1976 made it clear that death sentence would be
prescribed only in rarest of the rare case.
