THE RELEVANCE OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN INDIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS Pratyush Mahapatra, LAJPAT RAI LAW COLLEGE, SAMBALPUR UNIVERSITY Download Manuscript The concept of life is profoundly significant, intertwining morality, justice, and the implications of wrongdoing. Capital punishment, or the death penalty, is a highly contested form of punishment where a person is executed by the state for a crime. This paper examines the introduction and evolution of capital punishment in India’s criminal justice system, analyzing arguments for and against it. It explores international law compliance, judicial precedents, and significant reports shaping its implementation in India. Historically, the death penalty has roots in ancient Hindu and Islamic laws and was prevalent during the Mughal Empire. In modern India, it is reserved for the rarest of rare crimes. Arguments favoring the death penalty include deterrence and moral retribution, while opponents highlight the risks of grave injustice, lack of selectivity, and ineffectiveness in curbing crime. Global trends show a movement towards abolition, with many countries reducing or eliminating its use. The paper underscores the need for judicial reforms, life imprisonment without parole, and education programs as alternatives to the death penalty, advocating for a shift towards more humane and restorative forms of justice.

GUARDING FEMALE EMPLOYEES AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN WORKPLACE Anukriti Mathur, LLM Student at HPNLU Download Manuscript Traditionally, the man was responsible for hunting and performing duties outside the four walls while the woman was responsible for overseeing affairs within the four walls. But with increasing formal education for females, the female workforce too increased creating parity between genders in the working class. The increased participation of females in offices, factories, and mines also created a need for a separate mechanism for speedy redressal of abuse of sexual nature at the workplace. Sexual harassment leads to frequent dropouts by females and affects the productivity of female employees. The lawmakers in the interest of economic growth devised enactment to provide a safe work environment for females in both organized and unorganized sectors. The framers of the Constitution provided for safeguarding for females in all walks of life. Additionally, the Indian Penal Code along with Criminal Amendment Act 2013, expanded the definition of sexual harassment and made it a criminal offence.
