Death Penalty ?? Is it needed ??
ditor’s Pick
In India, Death Penalty is awarded in “rarest of ra-
e” cases. What is “rarest of rare” cases?? Is our Judi-
ial system free from external pressures or internal
prejudices???
The recent blasts in Hyderabad killed 18people and the number is counng, is it a
eprisal for Afzal’s hanging??? Why Afzal is
anged to death???. It is to deliver a strong
message to all like minded people not to
esort into any such acvies in the future.
But, the result is converse to it. In his
eer, Afzal long before his death con-
essed that his hanging will not stop any
error aacks. The same happened and
ill blameless people. Death to death re-
ults is no death is what deterrent theory
proposes, but death to death resulted in
ountless deaths is the reality and proves
he theory not appropriate to deter theommission of crime.
econd Oponal Protocol to the Interna-
onal Covenant on Civil and Polical Rights
formed on 5 December 1989, and came
nto force on 11 July 1991 ), aims at the abolion of
eath penalty. It’s members states are commied to
he abolion of death penalty. Currently the covenant
s signed by 75 states and 4 other are due to raca-
on. According to the convenon 40 states sll re-
ains death penalty in both law and pracce which
onstutes 66% of World’s Populaon in 2012 and
ndia is a part of it.
usce Krishna Iyer, a strong proponent of the re-
ormatory theory said that “Every Saint has a past,very sinner has a future”. But in our country death
entence is sll being implemented in both law and
pracce. Is deterrence a valid end of jusce, and what
n “rarest of rare” of cases . Deterrence theory which
believes severe punishments would deter the like-
minded from comming the crime. But is it so in the
ctuality? A crime is commied as a result of the con-
ict between the personality and the move of the
criminal, one may commit a crime either because the
persuasion of the move is stronger or because the
restraint imposed by the personality is weak. At that
moment no harsher punishment in law can act as a
deterrent to a person involved in the commission of
crime (According to 1948 Britain Royal Commission’s
study, out of 168 convicted for death penalty 164
have earlier witnessed public execuons ). The social,
polical, economical and geographical condions may
be the cause of commission of any oence. On the
other hand reformatory theory could bring about a
change in the personality and character of the oend-
er, so as to make him a useful member of the society.
A person who commied a crime should be seen in
isolaon and on case to case basis, but not in an en-
rety. Punishment given to a parcular person will
not deter the person of similar nature in situaons
that may come and end product is minimal and eect
on society is adverse in creang a vindicve atude
among the people towards a certain class and dwin-
dling faith on the Jusce system in the secons of
people belonging to similar condions.
Is “rarest of rare” case principle jusfying the ends?
Indian judiciary has adopted a strange principle of
“rarest of rare” case principle which mandate the
judges to render ‘special reasons’ to restrain from any
arbitrary decisions or by internal prejudices by the
judges under Sec 354 (3) of the Cr.P.C.(Bachan Singh
case (1980)). In the dissenng judgment given by Jus-
ce P.N.Bhagavathi, it was held that Sec 302 of IPC is
“Ultra Vires” and void as being violave of Art 14 and
21 of the Indian Constuon, since it does not pro-
vide any legislave guidelines as to when life should
be permied, or exnguished by
imposion of death sentence. “Aneye for an eye will leave everyone
blind” said Gandhiji. It has been rec-
orded that in Indian Trial Courts have
awarded the death penales very
oen in the last decade, reason in-
ferred behind is that, Supreme Court
has not drawn a line of denion
between “rarest of rare” case and
any other ordinary case. When pub-
lic senments were given more
weightage over the law, every case
will be “rarest of rare” case. At the
end of the day, judges are not free
from having dierent percepons
depending on dierent ideologicalbackgrounds causing grave injusce
to the oenders. In a recent case in
New Delhi, where a father raped and
killed his daughter and also killed his
wife, the Supreme Court commuted the death sen-
tence to life imprisonment, holding that the death
penalty should be an excepon and life sentence
should be the rule. But to the surprise Supreme Court
gave death sentence to an accused who kidnapped a
seven year old boy and demanded a ransom and later
killed him, when we weigh against both the cases
there exist a clear inconsistency in the court applying
the principle which is laid down by itself or it felt
there should be no two rarest of rare cases in a se-ries!!!
Apart from the predicaments within the judges, the
peripheral pressures from media and other social
groups are eecng the decisions of the judges. In a
case the bench headed by K.S.Radhakrishnan has

"Insulted" and "shocked" ….Harish N Salve Italy's stand on the marines issue, senior Supreme Court advocate Harish Salve has quit as counsel for the Italian government in the sh-
men killing case. He said the Government will be "jused" in the tough steps it takes in the maer aer the Italian government refused
e return of two marines, charged with killing of two Indian shermen last year. The two accused marines, Massimiliano Laore and Sal-
tore Girone, were allowed by the apex court on February 22 to travel to Italy for four weeks under the control and custody of the Ambas-
dor of Italy in India, to cast their ballot in the elecons. Salve said "They (marines) acceded to the jurisdicon of the Supreme Court. Su-
eme Court heard their case, gave substanal relief, quashed proceedings in Kerala and was trying to get the government to set up a courtd sele all these quesons of United Naons Convenon on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Then this happened. It is disappoinng".

Maharashtra can connue with Babli project: SC
Seven year old legal bale between State of Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra come to an end on 28th
Feb-
ruary 2013, as Supreme Court decided in favor of State of Maharashtra. This barrage constructed in Nanded
District is expected to help the Maharashtra in irrigaon and drinking water purposes covering 8000 hec-
tares. Major issue raised by Andhra Pradesh in the court was that, if a dam was built upstream it would
aect the irrigaon and drinking water of 6 Northern districts of Andhra Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh had
moved the court in 2006 to demolish the barrage. State of Maharashtra opposed this plea stang, the agree-
ment signed by the two states in 1975, for the construcon of projects to use its share of water is preroga-
ve and the only cap is that the ulizaon should not exceed 60 thousand million cubic (tmc) feet (1 tmc
equals 28.3 billion litres) of water. To study the issue, court has appointed a three member commiee to
supervise the construcon. Their duty will be to ensure that Maharashtra will be construcng the barrage
within the prescribed limits. Apex court also ordered Maharashtra to release 0.6 tmc of water every year to
Andhra Pradesh.
SC to hear Death convicts on Review
The Supreme Court on 6th March 2013 ,agreed to hear a plea of a death row convict seeking that review
peons led by him and other condemned prisoners against their sentence be heard in open court instead
of being decided by judges in chambers. A bench of Jusce P Sathasivam and Jusce S Khehar will also de-
cide the plea that all death penalty maers in the apex court be heard by a bench of ve judges as recom-
mended by the Law Commission.
The court meanwhile stayed the execuon of death sentence of the peoner Sundarrajan whose review
peon on its judgement for upholding his death sentence is pending before the apex court.
It also issued noces to the Centre and the Supreme Court Registrar on the peon seeking amendment of
Supreme Court Rules for allowing hearing of review pleas of death row convicts in open court.
The apex court had on February 5 upheld the death sentence slapped on Sundarrajan by courts below in
Tamil Nadu for kidnapping and strangulang a seven-year old boy to death in 2009 when Rs ve lakh ransom
demand for the child's release was not paid. He has pleaded that the safeguard of hearing review peonsin open court is required as "it would be the nal barrier against judicial errors resulng in loss of life."
"The recommendaon in the Law Commission report that all death penalty maers in the Supreme Court be
heard by a bench of ve judges be implemented and, in the alternave, at the least three judges ought to
hear criminal appeals where capital punishment is involved," he has said in his peon led through
Advocate Renjith B Marar.

iminal tests are sased against the accused, even
en the court has to nally apply the “rarest of rare”

diciary as a constuonal funconary.
he world naon believes that we are protagonists of
on-violence and tolerance which is sublime beauty of

andhi propagated and promoted the same all through

state is no excepon to it. Let us try to reform therongdoers to right doers where the real potenal of

us Radar: Good Aernoon Sir, We are grateful to you
or accepng our request, and this is our rst inter-
ew aer Jus Radar begin it’s journey…With your per-
ission shall we start the interview Sir..
usce B S Pal: (with a broad smile) Yes go ahead.
us Radar: Aer a successful journey in the legal ca-
eer doing 2 roles i.e. a judge and a lawyer, which role
d you like the most…?
usce B S Pal: I love both the roles. One role is com-
ementary to the other. If you don’t like the rst roleou may not like the second role. And if you like the
econd one, you will certainly move into the rst one
smile). A good lawyer becomes a good judge, and a
ood judge owes his credit to being a good lawyer. I
eally enjoyed doing both of them. I used to discuss
ith my wife about the cases which we have argued,
ow the cases are conducted, how the arguments are
uilt and presented and I always remember some of
he cases and even now I rejoice my days as a lawyer.
hose experiences are invaluable and you cannot com-
are that with this role, that is an ocean where my
ole as a lawyer is tremendous.
us Radar: As a law professional, what is your greatest
rength and weakness???
usce B S Pal: My greatest strength was being
uthful, always marshal the facts and be convinced
bout the case. I try to focus on it and present it. If I
ave accepted a case, I always felt that it’s a just
ause and I fought for it. That was my convicon. And
he second part of the queson i.e. weakness, there is
o weakness as such but, as a judge when you dis-
harge your dues, somemes you feel the desired
sce you want to give, you will not be able to due to
ertain legal constraints. Somemes you see that truth
something else and law is something else. At that
oint of me you realise there are lot of constraints.
his is the reason why the alternave dispute resolu-
on methods like mediaon and lok adalat where real-
the pares workout for remedies, they have a solu-
on there. It is not weakness as a person or a judge,
ut in the legal system there are certain constrains
nd limitaons which comes in the way of your sas-
ctory disposal of cases.
Jus Radar: Tell us about the Lokayukta, and its work-
ing?
Jusce B S Pal: Lokayukta is a wonderful instuon.
It is designed to eradicate corrupon, corrupt acvies
and help people to get their desires fullled. And I
should say it is working well in our state (Karnataka),
especially during the me of Jusce Santosh Hegde
and Jusce Venkatachelaiah they had performed very
well.
Jus Radar: There is an allegaon that judiciary is cor-
rupted to an extent. Is it true?, if so what is the possi-
ble remedy you would suggest?
Jusce B S Pal: In any instuon there will be people
who are corrupt and there who are suscepble to it.
Corrupon is not a phenomenon that parcularly oc-
curs in an issue or in a parcular day. In case of law-
yers there are some evils which are sustained when
they become judges. So it goes ahead like that. But if
one compares the judicial instuon as such with oth-
er instuons one must take credit in saying that the
instuon has maintained its purity by and large. The
possible correcve step though there are some aber-
raons involved, constantly educang oneselves, he
must undergo constant educaon even aer he as-
sumes oce. A Judge should be aware about values,
dues, principles and purity in performing dues.
Apart from that, we need to have structures like judi-
cial academy to support them and to guide them to
inculcate values, dues and principles. This is how we
can nurture it.
Jus Radar: Going into the burning legal issues…….
Jus radar: Recently “Vishwaroopam” lm was banned
in the guise of public order. Are we derailing from the
track of democracy in the course of me under the
guise of protecon of public order?
Jusce B S Pal: Certainly, disproporonate reacon
from various quarters would lead to such an invasion
of rights and fundamental rights especially. One has to
be guarded in protecng the law and order, but it
should be balanced and you should ensure that free-
dom of expression is not sculed in the guise of public
order.
Jus Radar: Is it not the need of me to rely more upon
CBFC or any other authorised body to look upon the
issue rather than the court been made to watch mov-
ies every now and then.?
Jusce B S Pal : Ulmately if a maer comes to thecourt, whether it is Censor Board or the execuve ac-
on, if it is challenged in the court and the court wants
to sasfy itself as to whether there are any oending
porons in the movie hurng the senments of a sec-
on of people, which may give rise to law and order
problems then there is nothing wrong in courts in-
volvement and it is the best way of facing things, how
it impacts ordinary prudent man. From the ordinary
prudent man’s stand point of view, what will be the
response, would it really rake up some emoons or
was it just made up. It’s one beer way of judging the
issue.
Jus Radar: “Lord Denning’s judgments were beer
than Jusce Krishna Iyer’s judgement” due to it’s sim-plicity and plain language. What is your view on this?
Jusce B S Pal: Lord Denning is an Englishman
(smiling….) he was born and brought up and educated
in the English language and Jusce Krishna Iyer being
an Indian he mastered the language. In Samudramun-
i’s case Jusce Krishna Iyer said about “dexterity of
dicon cannot override the arculated concepts of
legislaon” your dicon (language) may be anything
but it’s dexterity cannot alter the concepts of any leg-
islaon , so beaufully wrien which probably English
men cannot do this (everybody in the room smiling ).
But Krishna Iyer’s judgments should be appreciated
because of the eort behind it and how it is communi-
cated. We should not just focus on few lines and say
that the judgment is complex. It was his style and one
cannot forget the way he ensured jusce in his judg-
ments.
Jus Radar : Talking about one of your favorite con-
cepts in law Alternate Dispute Resoluon…Faster dis-
posal is guaranteed but away from the reach of com-
mon man is arbitraon… In your opinion which is the
best ADR feasible to the common man?
Jusce B S Pal: (Spontaneously with a laugh) Media-
on is best. Mediaon is simple and inexpensive way
to decide our own cases. Mediaon and Lokayukta are
the best available opons.

uch changes requiring the government to act in case of serious charges
gainst MCI oce-bearers.The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is
lso proposing to x the tenure of the President of the elected-body of
MCI to a maximum period of four years and restricng it to two connuous

s Radar : Sll large sects of people in rural areas are deprived or unaware of
cess to jusce… Nowadays Gram Nyayalayas seem to be a beer alternave.
hat is your opinion on gram nyayalayas and what are the future prospects of
.?
sce B S Pal: First thing is that we should sensize people so that they believe
trust our dispute resoluon system. Whether it is gram nyayalayas or exisng
yayalayas or lok adalats or any exisng court structures, people are not drawn
the court primarily. For the kind of problems they have they don’t come to
urt to resolve them. That has to be addressed. Many people do not know what
ppens in the court and how jusce is arrived at. They are carried away by mis-
ading thoughts like a case would take 5 to 10 years, for a decision. That myth
s to be removed. In our state (Karnataka) we have so many courts, some of the
urts are being closed because there are no cases. In my administrave district I
ve told the judges that they must have a metable as to, when a case is led,
hen is it posted for evidence, when it will come up for arguments and along with
e “judgment day”. Where on that day the case will be cleared and the same
ll be made known to the ligant. People should know that on a parcular date
e judgement of the case will be delivered and they should not feel they are lan-
ishing in the court of law, if this happens we can build trust and gain condence
the public and sensize them. This is what happens in English and U. S legal
stem.
s Radar: How far we are successful in sensising the public? What else we need
achieve the ends?
sce B S Pal: We have been doing our best… Legal Services Authority (LSA)
ve this Rath Yatra, where 3 Rathas for this purpose alone would travel through
villages across the state. Where we have all the infrastructure like a court,
mprising of magistrate and the court sta going to the village. Along with them
rious organizaons must be involved, law students must take part in creang
wareness and sensizing them. But, it has to catch up. It should become more
tense. The courts have got restricons in reaching out to the public. The court
nnot go door-to-door asking people to come to the court. That is the reason
hy we look forward from voluntary organizaons and students.
s Radar : In your student days, were you worried about your profession at anyme?
sce B S Pal : (Remembering those days) Yeah, Yeah, I was not very sure
hether I would become a successful advocate. In fact my dream was to do M.A.
English and become a professor. To pursue PhD, write some poems and all that
was my vision from the childhood (with a smile). But aer becoming a student of
law, I thought I will do LLM and fulll my dreams becoming a lecturer .But there
was a twist to the story and I am here.
Jus Radar: Is there any strong unfullled wish?
Jusce B S Pal: NO..(Spontaneously)!!!.
Jus Radar: Do you think that the concept of Naonal Law Schools is successful in
achieving it’s objecves?
Jusce B S Pal: It is….According to me it is successful .They have brought about ashi in the quality of the legal educaon. These days many bright students who
should have otherwise opted for other professional courses are taking law aer
giving compeve exams like CLAT. That is a very good sign, but we have to keep
the standard high and should not let it dwindle.
Jus Radar: But the fact remains that, very less students enter into ligaon which
is in a way defeang the primary objecve of NLS concept……
Jusce B S Pal: This is because of lack of condence in themselves. They want
some secured place where you are assured of a xed amount of money per
month, who think in pracce it is uncertain way. The challenge lies in future un-
predictable things and unpredictable heights you can reach in ligaon. Where as
in other cases you can reach to only predictable heights. So those taking challeng-
es would be beneed.

jus RADAR ...law speaks for itself
Educaon or awareness of laws, characterize
e lawyers as 'Social engineers'. "….man is inwardly a
oul and a conscious power of the Divine and that the
voluon of this real man within is the right object of
ducaon and indeed of all human life."-
Sriurobindo.
The legal educaon discovers the ways and
eans to explain to us the working of a legal system
nd nds out the way it funcons and aects society,
denotes professional knowledge constantly growing
response to human condions and animated by the
sions of future.
Jusce. Gita Mial , a keynote
peaker, (Internaonal conference NLU-Delhi, (02-03-
013) put the spotlight on the dynamic nature of legal
ducaon system. Mial J. observed that legal educa-
on system was rapidly changing and the legal infor-
aon system was also not too far behind either.
The law library is designed to assist law stu-ents, teachers, scholars and managers of administra-
on of the parent academic instuon. Therefore, the
w library of an academic instuon is established to
eet the informaon needed for dierent user
oups for the fulllment of their various Academic
cvies.
Academic law libraries, besides other
factors are instrumental in providing legal educaon
with utmost quality with added value addion. Aca-
demic law libraries are primarily connected to teach-
ing and research, and these libraries also accommo-
date the instruconal requirements of the law aca-
demic instuons academic curriculum.
A law library is designed to assist law stu-
dents, aorneys, judges, their law clerks and anyone
else who nds it necessary to correctly determine the
state of the law.

Library Informaon Services
As court of law is a temple of jusce, a library of law
is a temple of learning and such Law library service
has to play an eecve and ecient role in legal pro-
fession. As law is developing in a fast track mode it
has its impact on every aspect in the changing society
and needs a bridge between mulplicaon of legal
literature and legal professionals by the eecve
means of documentaon techniques and standards,
these techniques can be inculcated by the user
through law librarian orientaon and educate theuser community and make the use of law library and
its holdings at an early stage.
In conclusion, it may be stated that legal
informaon is available in large quanes in variety
of forms and formats from dierent sources. There is
a dire need to provide eecve legal informaon ser-
vices in support of legal educaon and legal research.
The changing role of academic law libraries in devel-
oping professional skills among the legal professionals
has become more enhanced. Providing advance legal
reference services is crical to the success of a law
librarian in the contemporary compeve environ-
ment. Informaon and communicaon technology is
taken advantage by majority of law librarians in devel-
oped countries to oer more value added services to
their users.
