New Delhi: The law commission has recommended to the Centre compensation to victims of custodial torture and deterrent punishment that may include life imprisonment of the perpetrators.

The recommendations assume significance against the backdrop of frequent allegations that police resort to third-degree torture to extract confessions and statements from the accused.

The commission's report, authored by its chairperson Justice (retd) B.S. Chauhan, was submitted to Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday. It also suggested that the country should ratify the UN Convention against Torture to tackle the difficulties in extraditing criminals.

The law commission is a statutory body whose assistance is often sought by the Supreme Court and the high courts in evolving contemporary laws. However, the recommendations are not binding on the government.
