The
court however refused to direct the Centre to consider castration as an
additional punishment for child sex abusers and child rapists after Attorney
General Mukul Rohatgi who had been specially called in for the hearing said the
court could not specify a punishment. “The court cannot enter into it which is
the realm of the parliament. We leave these matters to the wisdom of the
parliament Even otherwise the court cannot prescribe a particular punishment
for an offence We are concerned about the situation and
understand your sentiments. But a law cannot be based on emotion or sentiments…
there has to be some rationale. So it is not easy to order castration”, the
bench told them.
