Bus burning case:3 AIADMK men sent to gallows
by Raghavan Kesavan on Feb 16, 2007 11:49 PM

For crimes like murder , the courts should award death penalty without any exfception; because the society is more important than individuals . If bu driver kills a single individual or a few persons while tryig tho avoid large crowd of people , it is lawful.similarly it should be perfectly right to kill offenders of heinous crimes like murder in order the protect the innocents .It is the duty of the state to eliminate dangerous murdeerers from the sopciety in order to enable the innocent law-abiding citizens to live in peace and safety.some people have misunderstood the very concepot of punishments .they say that the offenders should be awarded only reformatory punishments and not killed .This concept lacks understating of he very concepot of reformation .The concept should reallymean ha he punishment should be so exemplary that no criminal intention is harboured by any individual in th society .It shoud be by way of reforming the society and not the indidividual who is not as important as the society and its welfare the safety of the society is nmore iomportant and the punisment should not be of the charcter of encouraging others also to commit such crimes under crtain cercumstances . Good conduct is ensure and arises only on the foundation of fear of punishments .Removin punishments eleimiates fear .Lessor punishment for hienous cromes is a reward to the ariminal who is maintained and fed in good health and comfort for committtin serious crimes at eh cost of the society and it is simply idiotic and administratively imprudent . Deterant punishments alone deter people from crime .that is why they are known as deterent punishments .But now a days the criminals seem to enjoy a moe comfortable life and than th elaw abiding citizesna dn it seem that it would be more profitable and comfortable to become a criominal than to be a law -abiding citizen.so it is simply ididotic to do away with capital punishments .In fact it should be extended to offences like rape and sexual harassments and corruption by Public men, officials and public servants
