Question

Meaning of henious crime as per juvinile justice act

Answer 1

The word "heinous" is nowhere defined in Indian Penal Code. However, the word has been interpreted by the judges in series of judgments. Heinous crimes are those crimes that give a blow to collective conscience of society. We cannot have any strait-jacket formula to classify these crimes, but to my understanding, child rape or the cases which come under the category of "rarest of rare" are heinous crimes. These crimes tend to create extreme revulsion in the minds of people. Generally, power to exercise remission is not there for such cases.
