The Doctrine of Death Sentence: A Review

Abstract

The highly contested doctrine of death sentence distinguishes a  procedure where such a heinous crime has been committed that  an alternative award of life imprisonment can never be  recommended, and the precious action can be classified as the  thesis of the rarest of rare theories in the age of punitive  multiculturalism. The horrendous philosophical perspectives of  the death penalty that were appropriated during the Moghul  reign were later adopted by the colonial empire, who carried  out the punishment of death penalty by following strict  disciplinary judicial formalities, and this particular principle of  death penalty was later adopted by the Indian Penal Code. As  current criminal law collides with the heavenly views of the  world's most renowned human rights philosophies, calls to limit  or abolish the idea of death punishment are growing. In support  of the above-mentioned idea, the second optional Protocol to  the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights calls for the abolition  of capital punishment and supports the expression of a human  being's nobler and magestic characteristics. The ECOSOC  resolution and subsequent statements guarantee delinquents  facing the death penalty their fundamental rights. The paper  emphasizes the essential features of death penalty principles,  focuses on the perspectives of the death penalty's constitution  ability and the rarest of rare doctrines, and concludes with a  conclusive suggestion that the prospective doctrine of  rehabilitative theory is more suitable than the Deterrent  philosophy, harmoniously emancipating the possible  transformation of a detainee.
