Today, more than ever, death penalty is justified by evoking sexual violence. And, sexual violence is framed as an exception. But with the rise of death penalty, states like Uttar Pradesh have seen the worst ways of killing rape victims. Death penalty does not deter rape.
 
It is also not a coincidence that the number of extra judicial killings of rape-accused increases with the increase in capital offences in the rape law. The abolitionist argument becomes even more important in relation to extra-judicial violence. This is because the justification of state violence judicial or extra-judicial also tells us of the law forgetting its own quest for humanity. While the victim's family may find closure only through the hanging, collective healing cannot be found through spectacles of state violence.
 
When society celebrates an encounter killing of rape suspects, our judiciary should worry.
 
It should remember that there are no briefs without petitioners. Without any briefs of injustice, there is no doctrine or jurisprudence. And constitutionalism emerges only when petitioners approach the courts. The jurisprudence on the rights of death row convicts cannot emerge without appeals to the court. In turn, one expects the judiciary to engage with constitutional issues of life and dignity, especially when it activates law as a killing machine and agrees to sacrifice law's humanity for the conscience collective.
 
When feminist lawyers such as Rebecca John and Vrinda Grover approach the courts to represent the death row convicts, they do so with ethical responsibility. They teach us to think of law's quest for humanity. While abolitionists cannot appeal to the traumatised parents of the dead victim to forgive the accused, it is ethical to insist that an execution is a sacrifice of law's humanity.
