Rape is undoubtedly one of the most heinous crimes. It not only causes physical scars to the victims but also perpetrates huge psychological trauma to the victim. To reflect the public abhorrence to the heinous crime of rape, many jurisdictions of the world prescribe death penalty in their penal statute to punish the rape offenders, India is no exception to this general rule. In this research article, the author attempts to analyze the various facets of death penalty jurisprudence in rape cases in the light of decided case laws. More significantly, the author endeavours to analyze the concept of death penalty in rape cases from the lens of human rights of the convicts.
