Abstract :
A recent Judgement passed by the Supreme Court in the 5th September discussed the need of a separate
law against custodial torture. The petition filed laid a distinctive demand of having an entirely separate
legislation for the Country which deals with Custodial Torture. Another point of law to be discussed in
the judgement is the scope and extent of the doctrine of separation of powers, which is being discussed
long since Keshavananda Bharti Case.1 The petition was filed by renowned Senior Advocate Dr.
Ashwani Kumar but unfortunately, this petition was dismissed by the Supreme Court citing various
reasons amongst one which said that the issue has been laid before the Law Commission for its perusal
and that soon something worthy is expected to come out of it.
