& CRIME IN INDIA

departmental proceedings were initiated anddisposed of in Uttar Pradesh during the year2007, followed by 5,645 in Tamil Nadu and3,116 in Rajashtan. The States which havereported relatively higher number ofproceedings pending as on 1.1.2008 wereGujarat (2,703), Orissa (2,114) and Tamil Nadu(1,814). Details are given in Table – 9.1. (PageNo. 111)

Cognizable Crime / Incidence & Rate ofCrime (IPC)

Cognizable Crime is defined as one in which aPolice Officer may arrest an accused withoutwarrant. The police have a direct responsibilityto take immediate action on receipt of acomplaint in such crimes by taking steps likevisit to the scene of the crime, investigate thefacts, apprehend the offender and produce himbefore a court of law having jurisdiction overthe matter.

CRIME IN INDIA

A total of 19,89,673 IPC crimes were reportedin the country during the year 2007 as against18,78,293 in 2006, showing an increase of 5.9percent in 2007. At state level Madhya Pradeshaccounted for the maximum of 2,02,386(10.2%) of total cognizable crimes registered inthe country followed by 1,95,787 (9.8%) in

Maharashtra and 1,75,087 (8.8%) in AndhraPradesh . This can be explained partly due toincrease in actual crime and partly due toimproved registration of crime. Details are givenin Table – 9.2. (Page No. 112)

The crime rate is defined as the ‘number ofCrimes’ per 1,00,000 (one hundred thousand)of population. It is universally taken as a reliableindicator since it balances the effect of growthin population.

The crime rate in respect of IPC crimes hasincreased by 4.4 percent from 167.7 in 2006 to175.1 in 2007 at All India level. Puducherry(475.4), Chandigarh (348.3) and Delhi (335.1)have reported much higher crime rates ascompared to the national average of 175.1.Once again, the improved registration andactual increase in crime could possibly explainthis phenomenon in these States.

Incidence & rate of crimes under Specialand Local Laws (SLL)

In general, free reporting of crimes indicatesbetter policing efforts. The Acts covering specialsubjects which are applicable in the wholecountry or the Acts in force in specifiedterritories, say a single state or part thereof, areconsidered for the purpose of crime reportedunder Special & Local Laws (SLL). Local Actsare clubbed together in ‘Other SLL’ crimes dueto their disparity from one place to other.

A total of 37,43,734 SLL crimes were reportedin the country during 2007 accounting for asubstantial increase of 16.1 percent over theprevious year 2006 (32,24,167). At statelevel Uttar Pradesh accounted for themaximum of 14,44,342 (38.6%) out of totalSLL crimes in the country, followed by7,11,946 (19.0%) in Andhra Pradesh and4,74,963 (12.7%) in Tamil Nadu . Details aregiven in Table – 9.3 (Page No. 115)

The rate of crime in respect of SLL has showna massive increase from 287.9 in 2006 to 329.4

in 2007 showing 14.4% increase at nationallevel. In comparison to the national average of329.4 the State of Uttarakhand (1493.3) andUT of A&N Island (1309.6) and the state ofAndhra Pradesh (872.5) have reported muchhigher SLL crime rates during 2007.

Disposal of cases under Indian Penal Code(IPC) by courts

During 2007, there were a total of 74,73,251cases pending for trial (including pending casesfrom the previous year) in the SubordinateCourts as compared to 71,92,451 during year2006 showing an increase of 3.9 percent overthe previous year.

The percentage of cases coming up for trial outof the total under- trial cases was slightly lower13.7 percent in 2007 than 14.5 percent in 2006as shown in table below.

2007 74,73,521 10,25,689 4,33,929 13.7 42.3

At the end of the year 2007, 84.2% of IPC casesremained pending for trial in various CriminalCourts of the country. Details are given inTable 9.4 (page No. 118)

This signifies the enormity of pendency of undertrial criminal cases in various subordinatescourts in the country. There are various factorsresponsible for this unusually high pendency ofunder trial cases in the subordinate courts. Itcalls for total overhauling of the Criminal JusticeSystem itself in order to provide justice to theaccused and victims promptly and at areasonable cost.

The North-Eastern States, in general had higherpendency of under-trial cases. The highest

CHAPTER 9

pendency was reported by Lakshadweep(98.9%) followed by Manipur (98.1%),Arunachal Pradesh (96.2%) and Dadra &Nagar Haveli (91.3%) as compared to the totalpendency and disposal achieved during theyear.

The conviction rate is the percentage of casesconvicted to total cases tried and disposed of.In 2007, conviction rate was 42.3 % whichdecreased marginally as compared to 42.9% in2006. Low conviction rate is an indicator ofinadequacies in the Criminal Justice System ingeneral and investigation and prosecution inparticular. In order to win the faith of citizens inthe criminal justice system, all its wings shouldcontribute their efforts to improve the convictionrate. Highest conviction rate was, however,seen in the UT of Lakshadweep during 2007,which recorded 100.0% conviction rate followedby 92.3% in Nagaland and 90.3% inPuducherry.

Disposal of cases under Special and LocalLaws (SLL) by courts

At All India level there were a total of 83,15,394SLL cases, including those brought forward fromthe previous year, due for disposal by theCriminal Courts during 2007. The state of UttarPradesh has reported the maximum of28,22,981 cases under SLL category pendingfor trial, followed by 14,86,643 in Gujarat and12,32,393 in Maharashtra.

The All India average pendency of SLL casesin courts i.e. net pendency after disposal duringthe year, was at 60.4 percent. The pendency ofSLL cases by courts among states was reportedto be the highest (98.9%) in Manipur. The nextin order was Arunachal Pradesh (98.8%),followed by Meghalaya (91.9%). Details aregiven in Table – 9.5. (Page No. 119)

The conviction rate for SLL crimes was much

higher (83.8%) than that of IPC crimes (42.3%)at the national level. The highest convictionrate in SLL crimes was reported by A & NIslands (99.8%) followed by Uttarakhand(99.2%) and Andhra Pradesh (99.0%).

Exhibits awaiting examination in the Stateand Regional FSLs

There were a total of 16,44,599 exhibits,including those carried forward from theprevious year pending for examination in variousForensic Science Laboratories (FSLs) in thecountry as on 1.1.2008. Out of these in12,03,562 exhibits examination was initiated andthese were disposed off, accounting for 73.2%of the total exhibits pending for examination. Asmany as 4,41.037 (26.8%) exhibits remainedpending for disposal as on 1.1.2008.

At state level the highest number of 2,94,592exhibits were disposed of during the year 2007in Punjab, followed by 2,86,146 in Maharashtraand 2,06,115 in Tamil Nadu. MaharashtraState has reported highest number (1,68,700)of exhibits pending for examination as on1.1.2008. The next in the order was Punjab55,005 followed by West Bengal 40,449. Detailsare given in Table – 9.6. (Page No. 120)

Slow disposal of exhibits has a whiplash effecton the entire chain of investigation, trial andconviction of criminal cases. It also hampers andslows down the investigation process.Increasing the capacity in our Forensic ScienceLaboratories (FSL) is called for urgently.Automation of Testing Machines andrecruitment of experts in adequate numbers fortesting labs (FSLs) is also likely to help to solvethis problem significantly which is beingattempted under the Modernization of PoliceForces Scheme (MPF Scheme) launched by theCentral Governments jointly with the StateGovernments with effect from the financial year2000-01.
