India's Supreme Court criticizes government's refusal to allow lethal injection, calling for modern execution methods.
The Supreme Court of India expressed concern over the government's refusal to consider lethal injection as an alternative to hanging, criticizing its resistance to evolving execution methods.
The court questioned the Centre's stance during a hearing on a 2017 petition by advocate Rishi Malhotra, who argued that hanging is inhumane and violates the right to a dignified death under Article 21.
While the government maintains that offering a choice of execution methods is not feasible, the court emphasized the need to align procedures with modern standards of decency.
The case, which seeks to declare Section 354(5) of the CrPC unconstitutional, remains pending, with the next hearing scheduled for November 11.
