With constant changes in society since August 15, 1947 in India and the advancement of science and globalization, we are just a click away from each other. India as a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic has developed in its social, political, cultural, educational, judicial and legislative sectors. In India, most of the laws are from the pre-independence period i.e. Indian Penal Code 1860, Civil Procedure Code 1908 etc. In the Indian Penal Code 1860 we find the influence of all theories of punishment and changes in society and with a better understanding of the Psychological Quotient of Offenders, the concept plea bargaining incorporated into the Criminal Code 1973 vide amendment dated 11 January 2006 under chapter XXIA as sections 265A to 265L. Due to the changes in society and the psychological factors behind crime, the "reformative theory" of punishment gained a greater place in Indian law, but in the Indian Penal Code of 1860, the concept of "capital punishment" prevails respecting certain offences.
