Abstract	Punishments are meant to uphold both law and order in the society and the capital punishment is regarded to be the severe most of them. Since the beginning of time, it has created a long history as a form of punishment. There are different techniques used for execution purposes in various nations. But the defenses against use of capital punishment have remained unchanged over time. It is considered by many that the capital punishment is one of the major reasons for violating the morality of the society and it also motivates retaliation. This is because of which many nations have abolished the concept of capital punishment, while some have done so only to bring it in use in case of certain events of extraordinary cases such as war crimes and so on. Both the UNGA as well as ICJ oppose the application of capital punishment. And even though many nations have abolished this concept, yet the countries like India, China, Pakistan and United States still practice it. In case of India, it is only in the “rarest of rare” events wherein the collective conscience of the community get shocked by the heinous crime conducted by the offender, that the capital punishment method is used. While the main objective of the execution of capital punishment is to satisfy the society’s feeling towards the hatred for crime, it should rather be curtailed as death penalty is not surety to vanish crime from the society. Even a single mistake through admission of facts may lead to the death of an innocent. Rehabilitation of an accused must be the main purpose rather than his/her death and focus must not be to eliminate a criminal, but to eliminate the crime.
