A lawyer challenged the practice, calling it barbaric and slow (sometimes taking 40 minutes). He wanted lethal injection or shooting instead; faster, he argued, and more dignified under Article 21. The Centre disagreed, saying hanging is still the safest, most reliable, and least traumatic for the convict. The Court didn’t shut the door forever; it said if science or evidence proves otherwise later, they’ll revisit it. Even more interesting? The government is already thinking about setting up an expert panel; lawyers, doctors, neuroscientists; to study if there's a better way. For now, hanging stays. But this isn’t the end. It’s a pause; a quiet invitation for better data, better ethics, and maybe, eventually, a more humane system. Sometimes, the law doesn’t move fast; but it does move thoughtfully.
