In this research paper, I would be focusing the law related to mob lynching in India. In today’s time the mob lynching in India has become common part. The major reason for mob lynching in India is caste, religion, political hands also. However, the victims have the protection of human rights and constitutional rights to get justice. There is no national law made on mob lynching. Mob lynching is not defined in IPC, CRPC, and nor defined in the constitution. But it is possible under Sec 223(a) of the (CRPC) to prosecute together two or more people accused for same offences committed in the course of “same transaction’’. But the provision falls for the short of an adequate legal framework for prosecuting lynch mob. So, there is need to make the bills introduced by the member of parliament as well as supreme court also to curb such violence. This paper will be leading with a study on various case identifying lynching all over India.
