Capital punishment should be given to the responsiable persons involved in Government financial scams.

Please comment

I beg to disagree.

As to my knowledge, the gravity of punishment for PC Act cases are directly proportional to the strength of available  evidences and not on the amount of money involved.( Correct me if wrong).

So this will result in capital punishment even if a peon misappropriates Rs.25 and there is sufficient evidence to show that he/she is guilty.

Feroz ji,

Corruption reached its zenith level in India. Yes a rupee is a ruppe. I am speaking about financial scams in India. 

prakesh ij yr view is best.

I agree Prakash sir.

But does your suggestion implies enhancement of punishment for offences like cheating, forgery, falsification, counterfeiting etc. or demands a new enactment dealing exclusively for financial scams with such punishment?

Dear Feroz ji,

cheating, forgery, falsification, counterfeiting etc. is also part of financial scam. Responsiable persons involved in financial scam should be given capital punishment without any excuse.

individual offences like cheating, forgery, falsification, counterfeiting etc should be punsihed as per IPC.

The concept here in India is that the punishment should be commensurate to the gravity of crime. The law makers have decided that financial crimes do not fall within the gravest for of crime therefore lesser punishment. Capital punishment is the extreme form of deterrent theory of punishment. Thoughy hats off to china, they execute the financial criminals as well - the deterrence. It will take light years to bring such a concept to India.

 Crime has not abated in Saudi Arabia but let us learn something from that country how to punish the guilty. Some may call it jungle raj. So be it.

I am against capital punishment for any sort of crime, be it a scam or offenses against body.

 Police can shoot a criminal but a criminal should not be awarded the death penalty? What an exposition of law? We know custodial deaths don't we. What punishment is this?
