Vajiram & Ravi Calls for Indian Sentencing Reform

Vajiram & Ravi, a leading Indian law firm, has highlighted the urgent need for sentencing reform in the country. The firm argues that the absence of a unified sentencing framework leads to inconsistencies and inequities across courts.

In its recent commentary, the firm called for the creation of an Indian Sentencing Council that would review cases and recommend guidelines for judges. Such a body, the firm believes, could help standardise punishments and reduce disparities.

The call comes amid growing concerns about the fairness of the criminal justice system and the need for reforms that promote transparency and accountability.
