Is death by hanging "humane"? Top Court asks government to research and respond

The Supreme Court expressed its inclination towards constituting an expert committee to determine if the execution of death penalty through hanging was proportionate. After the hearing, Advocate Rishi Malhotra spoke to ANI and informed, “First of all I want to say that we have not challenged the death sentence. According to us, hanging is a cruel and inhumane way to execute someone. USA has removed hanging from 40 of its states as they have adopted the way of executing prisoners by lethal injections. 187th report of the law commission states that where hanging takes 30-40 minutes to declare someone as dead, lethal injections does that in 5 minutes.” Speaking further, he said, “Science and methodology have drastically changed as many developed countries have adopted this method. The learned Attorney General representing the Government of India said that the topic is a matter of discussion and we will form a committee of experts who will examine the method.” #latestnews #supremecourt #topnews Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/WgIatu For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook:   / timesofindia   Instagram:   / timesofindia   Download the app: http://toi.in/3SLUCa80 Follow TOI+ for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook:   / timesofindiaplus   Twitter:   / toiplus   Instagram:   / toi_plus
