Abstract:
Capital punishment is an outcome of the different theories of punishment. However, it is
a matter of active controversy worldwide. Debates regarding the retention and abolition
of such activities have been in news now and then. Such decisions are dependent on a
country’s social, economic, cultural situation and development, political ideologies of the
parties forming the government in the respective countries etc. The term is debated in the
light of the fact that when the government or the state is going to make the execution of
someone because something wrong has been done by the person or the contravention of
all that has taken place or the law has been breached on the grounds where the serious
nature offence like murder and rape has emerged, then this the very term is elaborated and make effective at times.
