Indian Judiciary and Custodial Torture

Abstract

It is a clear fact that crimes have been existing in human kind since a long time in its varied forms but in cases where violence is involved there have been various systems that are available to prevent it which may in form of religious teachings, philosophical ideas existing in society, communal norms or laws made by the society.¹ Today, generally what we follow after the crime is committed is to put up a person in custody with police with idea that free movement of the person is not viable for the peace and harmony of society. The most fundamental question when dealing with a detainee is whether or not his human rights are being respected while he is in detention.
