MOB LYNCHING: INCEPTION AND FAILURE IN ITS LEGAL REDRESSAL

Abstract

 This research paper attempts to deduce the motives as to why mob justice flourishes due to poor law enforcement, and how such thriving will establish a state of ochlocracy, and thus replace government with anarchy. It also aims to determine the responsibility of the State in monitoring certain practices. Henceforth, a deep study on collective violence in relation to the rising trend of mob lynching is very pertinent. As the famous saying goes: "Discipline delights the sensation of joy experienced by people at the prospect that criminal has been dealt with." - V.D. Mahajan
