ABOLISH DEATH SENTENCE
140 countries have abolished capital punishment in law or in practice, but India is one of the 58 countries that till date has retained it. Death sentence is a cruel and arbitrary mode of punishment that has no place in civilised society. Capital punishment is justified in India on the ground that it is awarded by the judiciary only in the “rarest of rare cases” and “for special reasons”. Scrutiny of judgments passed by the courts show that they are subjective and freakish, and judges like any other human being are fallible, have their prejudices and are not above public pressure. A public meeting is being called by the Committee for Protection of Democratic Rights [CPDR] to oppose the retention of death sentence in India on 12th February 2013 between 5.30 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. at Multi Media Room, St. Xavier’s College, First Floor, Mahapalika Marg, Mumbai – 400 001. The speakers at the meeting are Justice Hosbet Suresh [Retd.], Justice Ajit Shah [Retd.], Ms. Pushpa Bhave and Dr. Yug Mohit Chaudhry. Please attend the meeting and share your views, and also inform others who would be interested in the same. For further information contact Maharukh [9820141989] or Monica [9820738291].
