ABSTRACT:

The government and courts use the death sentence to punish offenders, safeguard the rights of victims, and remove potentially dangerous persons from society so they won't commit another crime. This facet of civilization has existed since the Stone Age, when kings were viewed as the personification of law and order in the community. The repercussions of a death sentence are irreversible and cannot be undone. The most individuals are executed annually in China. In India, the death sentence is reserved for people who have committed the worst crimes. To contradict or support a claim, the author uses reliable and objective sources, data, and subject matter experts. As proof for the researcher's conclusions, the study gives instances and quotations. The study follows a doctrinal pattern, drawing on previously accessible data and analysing those facts to develop an evolution of this research. Primary data consists of interviews and surveys, whereas secondary data includes publications, laws, parliament bills, and reports. The goal is to understand the Indian death sentence and India's stance on the issue from a global viewpoint. The secondary purpose is to discover alternatives to the death penalty.
