Extra Judicial Killing?

Extra- judicial killings whether they are carried out by State agencies or non- state entities is not the concern. The way human life and dignity has been assaulted and killing with sheet and utmost brutality without adhering to any principles of justice is the basic concern. It is the duty of the state through the law enforcing agencies or Police to bring those who violate the law before the Court for judicial determination of rights and liabilities and accordingly, deliver justice.

Extra- judicial killings are illegal because they are unwarranted by the law. It is a broad expression which includes killing after taking custody or capture or killing instantly without the sanction or approval of the Court. Killing without the sanction or approval of the Court of law is extra- judicial killing. What concerns the most is when extra- judicial killings are committed by state agencies responsible for enforcing law and order like Police, who are supposed to be the protector of life and liberty of the citizens (D.K.Basu v. State of West Bengal). That they are committed under the shield of uniform and authority under the four walls of the heavily armed police men where the victim is totally helpless instigates the most unwarranted and unexpected forms of public anger and protest. It need not be emphasized to the obligation of the state to secure life and liberty or basic inalienable human rights of the citizens. In Nilabati Behera v. State of Orrisa (AIR 1993 SC 1960). Supreme Court held that custodial Killing is one of the worst crimes in the civilized society governed by the rule of law. Killing in exercise of the right of private self defense is an exception available only in rare circumstances and it is also limited by law. Unfortunately, this has been used as an excuse to justify systematic state or Police killing which are unwarranted by law. People’s agitation against state or police killings results into extreme forms of violence or rebellions. For it is the State who had solemnly promised and which had been bestowed power under the Constitution to protect and preserve the inalienable human rights of its citizens. Justice Hardie Boys in Simpson v. Attorney General (Baigent’s case, 1994 NZLR 667) stated that every citizen is entitled to the enjoyment of basic human rights and it is the duty of every civilized state to protect these rights. They do not depend on the legal and constitutional form in which they are declared. They are inherent in every human being by virtue of being born as a human.
