I would even go a little forward and suggest that even criminals should be charged and punished in a legal way and not by such illegal encounters. You may think now that if Sohrabuddin is a gangster (I think he is one), his encounter is justified. But if you give such a power to a particular person to go against the constitution, it wouldnt be too long before they start executing anyone who is dissenting them. So, in the long-term it not justified that we need a fake encounter to execute gangsters. Even if it is a serious situation, Police have every power to undertake shooting actions with proper permission from Judiciary or quick responses under critical situations. There is absolutely no reason to carry out such fake and illegal encounters. It is evident such actions are only to hide the facts.
