Sarashika DESIGN Saumya Kishore Manish Minz Set in Druk and Portrait Text by Commercial Type Foundry. Founders Grotesk and Pitch by Klim Type Foundry, Printed and bound in India, 2019 FOREWORD This is the third edition of The Death Penalty in India: Annual Statistics published by Project 39A at National Law University, Delhi and is a continuation of our efforts to compile comprehensive data on the use of the death penalty in India. Since the first edition in 2017, we have constantly broadened our search strategies and improved upon our data collection systems to accurately track death sentence cases across the country. Despite these efforts, we face significant difficulties because of the poor data collection and maintenance by state institutions. The 162 death sentences imposed by trial courts in 2018 is the highest in a calendar year since 2000. We filed 91 applications under the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTIs) covering all prison and home departments, and office of the Governors across states to collect information on prisoners sentenced to death. We also regularly mined the High Court and Supreme Court websites to track movement in death sentence cases. Since most Sessions Courts either do not have websites or do not regularly update them, local newspaper reports proved to be the most reliable source of information for tracking death sentences by trial courts in 2018.
