Abstract
Administration of Justice is important in a society where harmful behavior poses a threat to the safety of the larger section of the society. A mechanism of sanctions is primarily imperative for the sake of wellness amongst the people, both mentally and physically. It is the modern and civilized alternative for the primitive practice of private violence. Without a system of administration of justice, man tends to redress the wrong committed to him in an impartial manner, which is certainly not at all desirable. Interference by the state is required to maintain peace. So how does the state administer justice? Punishment is a penalty for the transgression of law. The Indian Penal Code provides Punishment to be a method to administer justice for the wrong done by the criminal. It is a way of the state taking matter into its own hands in accordance with impartial codified set of laws. Law courts exists in society ought to rise up to the occasion to do the needful in the matter, and as such ought to act in a manner so as to subserve the basic requirements of the society. It may be imposed on any a person or property of the accused depending on the nature and extent of a crime in a particular case. In Fact, the greatest virtue of law is its flexibility and its adaptability; it must change from time to time so that it answers the ever-evolving needs of the society.
