Death Care

INTRODUCTION [1]

The word implies guard protective custody and care. Even when apply to indicate an arrest or imprisonment, not intended symptoms of abuse while in detention. No civilized law postulates the cruelty of custody – a trait inhuman which springs from a perverse desire to suffer when there is no possibility of any retaliation, a meaningless exhibition superiority and physical power over who is defeated or anger thought collective hypocrite. It is one of the worst crimes in civilized society, governed by the rule of law and constitutes a serious threat to an orderly civilized society. Torture in custody mockery of the fundamental rights of citizens and an affront to human dignity.

Prisoners are human rights and prison torture an admission of failure to do justice to the man living. For a prisoner, all human rights are a reality applicable, but limited by the fact of incarceration. Simply Said this, the death of a person in custody or judicial or police custody amounted to death. No doubt the police play a key role in preserving our life, liberty and freedoms. But the police must act appropriately, showing respect to the downfall of the human rights of people, remembering that there are under the law, not exposed and can be held responsible for the violation of human rights. You can always argue that prison islands form the discretion of illegality in a society guided by the values and often practice the rule of law, where the authorities the exercise of arbitrary power over the life of the prisoner. The charge brutal prison violence by the police which often leads to death of detainees is not new. Amnesty International figures in 1992 show the number of deaths in custody in India during 1985 to 1991 was 415. Figures compiled by the National Crime Record shows that during the years 1990-92, the largest number high of 258 rapes and 197 deaths in custody have been reported in view throughout the country. Obviously a large number of incidents of violence in custody are not reported. Arun Shourie once observed: The victims were always poor. Several of them to go in any formal charge. Even for people who have stopped at a very large number of cases, which were charged with minor acts of crimes No, victims of violence in prison are people of poor and backward society with little political or financial power to support them. personal enmity, caste and political considerations, and sometimes financial benefits become important for duty deaths rather than the investigation of cases.

conceptual aspect of death care

Law has always discouraged acts or omissions that, in general, may influence the actual law and violators were punished with severe penalties, but the crime rate does not decrease and steady state is seeking to maintain social solidarity and peace in society. When death occurs in police custody, which raises the public interest and draws media attention. Not that every time the death was due to violent causes, but sometimes may be due to natural causes or due to lack of medical facilities or care medical diagnosis, or authorities, or neglect may be due to physical abuse and torture. Since time immemorial, man has sought to enslave his fellow man. Those in power used to twist and turn the people through violence and torture, and torture of prisoners has become a worldwide phenomenon. Men women and even children are subjected to torture in many countries, although in most countries, the use of torture is prohibited by law and international declarations signed by their respective representatives. A problem of increasing frequency and disgust had approaches interrogation and torture perpetrated by the prisoners and detainees. Those detained by police or prison authorities, retain their basic constitutional rights except the right to freedom and a limited right to privacy. The manager of the instruction is all unnecessary death of a person in custody to ensure control of the circumstances leading to death. Beyond research and information the judge in recent years the Human Rights Commission, however, no formal public review of the death in prison and in those situations, there are many factors leading to preventable death remains unexplored.

Constitution provisions on the death of guard

In Maneka thepost-time in a can antenna cases, the Supreme Court highlighted the cruelty of the prison system in India and has tried to humanize it. The Court has taken an active part in research to improve a system that is cruel and insensitive to pain and human suffering. Again and again, the Supreme Court Court noted that Article 14, 19 and 21 are available for prisoners and Freeman. andPrisoners wall does not protect the fundamental right "in Article 21 of the Constitution guarantees the right of individual freedom therefore prohibits any cruel, inhuman or degrading to anyone, whether national or foreign. Any violation of this law draws the Article 14 which enshrines the right to equality and equal protection of the laws. These rights are discussed in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) as well. The Constitution recognizes the fundamental rights in the country's government that the State shall direct its policy of ensuring a level freedom and dignity and insulates against every form of tyranny against the mind and body and their freedom to grow without fear. All warranties of detention on constitutional law and others are designed to protect human dignity, to avoid a barbarian. Therefore, any person accused of a crime may be compelled to testify against himselfArt.20 (3) a person is entitled to know why he was arrested to be placed in custody and to consult a lawyer of his choice. The right to live with human dignity enshrined in art. 21 derives its life and breath of the guiding principles of State policy in particular, clauses (e) and (f) of Article 39 and Articles 41 and 42 as Supreme Court said Mukti Morcha Bandhua case. Art. 142 empowers the Supreme Court "to order that justice needed to be complete in any cause or matter pending before it. The power of the Supreme Court under this provision is intended to complement the existing legal framework to ensure that justice is total between the parties and not to supplant it. Its aim is to prevent any obstruction in the flow of justice. The innovations introduced by the Supreme Court not only reduce the multiplicity litigation, but also help the courts to ensure speedy justice for victims of violations of the right to life and personal liberty. In Behera Nilabati against the State of Orissa, where the Supreme Court awarded damages against the State of a young mother beaten to death in custody Police. In accordance with the constitutional guarantee of a series of laws provisions also seek to protect individual liberty, dignity and fundamental rights of citizens. Chapter V of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 on the powers of arrest of a person and guarantees that must be followed by the police to protect the interests of the detainee. Cr PC Article 41 confers powers and police officer to arrest a person in the circumstances specified therein, without a prescription or an arrest warrant from a magistrate. Article 46 establishes the method and manner of detention. In this section, no formalities are necessary for the detention of a person. Under Article 49, the police are not allowed to use more restraint than is necessary to prevent the escape of the person. Article 50, requested to all police officers to arrest without warrant any person who will communicate the details of any offense for which he was arrested and the reasons for his detention. The police officer also instructed to inform the detainee is entitled to be released on bail and bail can be arranged for his arrest was for an offense not subject bond. Article 56 contains a provision requiring the police make an arrest without a court order to produce the detainee before a judge without unnecessary delay and article 57 echoes paragraph (2) of Article 22 of the Constitution of India. There are also provisions of articles 53, 54 and 167, which will benefit from guarantees process to a person detained by police. By Francis Mullin v.Union Coralli Territory Delhi, the Supreme Court has condemned the cruelty or torture as a violation of section 21 with the words "all forms of torture and cruel or degrading treatment would be offensive to human dignity and would be at point of view, be prohibited by Article 21. We will see that there is implicit in article 21 the right to protection from torture or cruel, inhuman, which set out in Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of human right, guaranteed by Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. "

atrocities of the police: some concerns

Custody authority violence, including torture and death in the camera are committed under the shield of "uniform" and "between the four walls of a station and police holding cell in jail, where victims are totally helpless deaths in custody are neither normal or unknown. These deaths occur not only in India but also in several other countries. These deaths violence certainty custody. Experience shows that the worst human rights violations taking place during the investigation, when police to obtain evidence of the confession often resort to third degree methods, including torture and detection techniques adopted either by arrest record is not the arrest or description deprivation of liberty only as a prolonged interrogation. In reading the newspaper almost every day reports on torture dehumanizing assault, rape and death custody of the police or other government agencies is really depressing. The increasing prevalence of torture and death in custody has assumed alarming proportions affecting the credibility of the rule of law and the administration of criminal justice system. The community feels right to worry. Call the company for justice stronger. In the State of Maharashtra v. Enchanted Kanth S. Patita, °, that wives and march to a prisoner to trial violates Article 21 of the Constitution. The State does not it was the police to pay compensation to the victim. Although torture is not specifically countermanded by the Constitution, Article 21 clearly states protection against it.

The arrest of a person suspected of crime does not justify physical violence against the person or his punishment. But when the prisoner has a fundamental right to remain silent against self-incrimination, art. 20 (3). During interrogation, the police often abuse their authority by the use of force extort money from the criminal information. Sections 330 and 331 of Indian Penal Code Codeprovide punishment to those who intentionally damage or serious injury to extract confessions or information that could lead to the detection of a crime or misdemeanor. The scope of these articles is wide enough for all police officers present then, but do nothing to prevent torture and to be indifferent or withdraw from the scene for fear of the cause. This observation came to be seen in Kant Sham case in which declared that "the trial judge was very wrong when case was not upheld accused No. 1 (ASI), guilty of complicity in the fact that although this was not participating active in the fight against the suspect. "The third report of the National Police of India expressed its deep concern about violence in prisons and deaths lock-up. Welcomed the demoralizing effect that keeps the torture was the creation of society as a whole, is very useful suggestions. ¬ suggested

An arrest in the investigation admissible in a case can be considered justified in any of the following circumstances.

Expression "life or freedom personnel "in section 21 includes a guarantee against torture and assault, even by the state and its officials a person who is being detained and sovereign immunity can not be invoked against the liability to the state by using criminal force on this person in captivity. The right to interview detainees and convicted or detained in the interest the nation should override the individual's right to personal liberty. Latin salus populi suprema lex maximum EST (security of the people is the supreme law) and salus republicae EST suprema lex (safety of the state is the supreme law) exist and are not only important and relevant, but are at the heart of the doctrine that the welfare of individuals must give way to the community. State action, however, must be "fair, just and equitable. As found by the Supreme Court in a case that "torture remains is a naked violation of human dignity and degradation which destroys, to a large extent, the human personality. Here, the Supreme Court has banned the use of third-degree methods on suspects and framed various guidelines for the protection of their fundamental rights.

deaths in custody: violates the rights of the judiciary recognizes the rights of an upright conscience prisoners because of his reformist approach and the belief that prisoners are also human beings and the purpose prison is to reform rather than make them hardened criminals. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948, adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly in its resolution 217 (III) of December 10, 1948 in the preamble that "recognition of the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all family members Humans are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. The term "human rights" has not specifically defined in any declaration or agreement United Nations Human Rights .- generally defined as "the rights that are inherent to our nature and without which I can not live like   humans' recognition of these natural human rights is as old as human civilization.. India is a signatory of the Declaration Universal Human Rights and acceded to the two International Covenants, depositing the instrument of accession on April 10, 1979. The Vienna Declaration and Programme of June 25, 1993 Action, adopted by the World Conference on Human Rights affirmed that "human rights and fundamental freedoms are the birthright of all humans. 'Human rights are recognized as limits to the exercise of power by the State of individuals.

The apex court of concern

These requirements ensure the personal file of the police to stop and handling of the arrested person, arrest record, the record of his whereabouts during his detention, requesting information with relatives or acquaintances in their welfare, periodic medical examinations of the arrested person to determine whether the use of force and the state of his health, which in police custody, the preparation of "Inspection Memo" registration injury if the person arrested, while incidents of violence in prisons may be easily detected and the perpetrators are duly prosecuted. The demands of art. 21 and 22 (1) of the Constitution not only strictly classified by the police, but also by other government agencies. The apex court by judicial activism has evolved the right to compensation for the deprivation of liberty case they life.The personal unconstitutional "Bhagalpur blinding was the first case where it was discussed the issue of monetary compensation by the Honorable Supreme Nilabati Court.In Behera c. Orissa took place, "referring to the granting relief to the heirs of the victim to death in detention for the crime or an invasion of the rights guaranteed under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, no always enough to relegate it to an ordinary appeal in a civil suit to claim damages for the act twisted state, is that private law remedies is indeed available to the injured party. "Citizens complained about the violation of the inalienable right Article 21 of the Constitution can not say that, for the violation the fundamental right to life, can not take relief under public law by the courts exercising jurisdiction shortly. The main source of public law processes resulting from competition, and for the courts therefore evolve "The new tools" to give relief in public law by casting according to the situation in order to preserve and protect the rule of law. In this case, the Supreme Court awarded damages against the State by the mother of a young man beaten to death view in custody. The Court stated that its enforcement authority has established a right to "forge new tools" for which compensation This was appropriate when the only available resource. It has been said that if the death in custody of the deceased was entitled to monetary compensation under Article 32 and 226 of the Constitution of India. It was an action in civil liability, but in public law based on strict liability for violation of rights fundamental to the principle of sovereign immunity does not apply. The apex court of Sebastian V. M Hongrey Union of India, where the Supreme Court corpus by order of herbs called on the government of India to produce two and ultimately, the government failed to produce his inability to express and Government to make the statement that the person has stopped near the camp, where some of an army regiment was stationed some live is unsustainable and incorrect, the government would be guilty civil contempt because of willful disobedience to writing. The apex court in view of torture and suffering oppression mental family of such persons, under the direction of payment of the cost of Rs 1 lakh each.In (SmtJ Nilabati Behrn @ Lalita Baher v. Orissa, the court held the apex of human rights violation by the State should be compensated and short compensation can be maintained. He has also stated that sovereign immunity does not apply to infringements of fundamental rights. In the Supreme Court decision in People's Union for freedom from hich Union of India has been the case u Manipur, a disturbed area, in this case, there was a meeting of forgery and two people suspected of being terrorists have been captured by police someplace away and shot him because of his death, it was decided that the administrative settlement can not be allowed and the interference with the Court of Justice requested. The apex court awarded compensation of Rs one lakh each to the families of the deceased. The apex court of Raghubir Singh v. State Haryana has decided that the company was deeply concerned about the recurrence of the evil police torture leading to a terrible warning in the minds of citizens to standing that their lives and liberty are under a new danger when the guardians of Gore rights standards of man, to death. This development is disastrous for our awareness of constitutional human rights and humanist

Rights Commission – a silver lining

Formal mechanisms for the protection of human rights in this country has been launched by the general meeting, then President of the protection of human rights came into force on September to 28.1993. Article 3 of the Act provides for the site of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and Article 21 of the creation of various state commissions (CDHS). The Commission Rights National Human Rights in its annual report for 1997-98 records that during the year 1996-97, 188 deaths in police custody were reported during the year 1997-98, 193 deaths in custody and 700 deaths and 819 deaths respectively in judicial custody reported to the Commission. In the fight to the question of custody of torture the Commission reiterated its earlier recommendations by seeking prompt action on the proposed Law Commission of India in the sense that the proposal Section 114 (B) is inserted in the Indian Evidence Act to introduce a presumption contrary, that the injuries suffered by a person in custody may be presumed to have been caused by a police officer, and the proposed amendment of Art. 197 C. cr. PCs for obviating the necessity of governmental sanction for prosecution of a police officer where a prima facie case has been established in a study carried out by a judge of the sessions of the commission of a crime of possession, and the suggestion of the National Commission Police should not be a mandatory investigation by a court session in every death in detention, rape or serious injury.       

The Law Commission recommended in its report 113, in the search for a police officer for an alleged crime of assault injury to a person if there was evidence that the injury was caused during the period in which the person was under the police officer's custody, the court may presume that the injury was caused by the official having custody of that person during that period. Shyamsunder Trivedi In case the Supreme Court also expressed the hope that the government and legislature would be seriously considering Law Commission recommendations. Unfortunately, the proposed amendment was not incorporated into the law to date. The need for change does not require attention, the violence of the arrest, torture and death in custody, justifies the urgency of the amendment and the Court invited Parliament's attention to him.

Conclusion-

The cases come to light reflect the cruelty that human beings put into custody or control are treated their peers. Human behavior cruel beings ashamed even carnivorous beasts terrorize and numb tigers present at the opening of a wide-ranging tiger custody of their captors powerless supposed to protect and preserve the species. Detection and deterrence are the key factors to prevent recurrence of such machines incidents.An effective and independent in order to detect cases quickly and measures to punish those responsible for the loss can provide some security against violence in prisons. Article 37 of the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993 allows the government to establish one or more special investigation teams composed of police officers necessary for investigation and prosecution arising from violations of human rights. The revival of the doctrine of natural rights as human rights throughout the world is a great development in the field of jurisprudence in the contemporary
