well it is a very debated topic whether it should be or not. the general rule is also that capital punishment should be given only in the rarest of rare cases. Only for rape law does not provide for capital punishment. mr. borbora views are absolutely right.

let this query be raised in forum, it will give opportunity to everyone to submit their respective opinion.

Rape is a serious crime and with out doubt it deserves severe punishment. A punishment amount to capital punishment is necessary. Capital punishment shall be a retribution .Even though it is not taking the human life but spoils the victims’ life and the scar change the course of the life.

Given the present state of affairs and the way police and judges are hell bent upon believing every accused to be actually guilty, rape would be a sure shot recipe to commit murder of an innocent man. Roughly 90% of rape cases are false. Would the nation be willing to expose fellow citizens to risk of death upon false accusations.

If capital punishment is to be provided, most unimpeachable evidence should be the rule. I remember a famous Delhi case in which the deceased's postmortem report read thus:
Hymen: Intact.
Pubic hair: Matted
Semen Found: No
Stain on underwear: No
Underwear: intact
The accused was convicted of "Rape" and murder.

views of abhishek is voted by me. There may a false case of rape. As far as my experience of 20 year in field of law ONLY RARE cases are of rape. 90% cases are fabricated and a consent case converted into rape.
present punishment provided by IPC is enough severe and capital punishment is not supported at any point by me.

No, it is not possible because in 80% cases are fabricated and most of prosecutrix are consenting party. So death penalty can not be imposed in such cases.

punishment for rape should never be capital. rape is the offence that is the outcome of a most fundamental passion sine qua non for human propagation. that is why in IPC sec -354 is made bailable.
