Headnote | Sentence / Sentencing – Remission of Sentence – Petitioner convicted by Sessions Judge u/ss. 302, 307, 323, 34 IPC and sentenced to life imprisonment – Appeal of petitioner pending in High Court – Governor of Uttar Pradesh issued G.O / policy dated 01.8.2018 u/Art. 161 of the Constitution for pre-mature release of prisoners on occasion of Republic Day every year – Petitioner filed writ petition u/Art.32 of the Constitution – His case, that despite having satisfied all terms and conditions for pre-mature release under the said policy, and his proposal for release being recommended on occasion of 26.1.2020 i.e., two years back he had still not been released – However, counter-affidavit filed by State pointing out that the policy for pre-mature release stood amended on 28.7.2021 in terms of which all such convicts were required to be considered “who have completed age of 60 years” and have undergone custody of 20 years without remission and 25 years with remission – Held: There is great doubt on validity of the clause in Policy of 2021 prescribing minimum age of 60 years which would imply that a young offender of 20 years will have to serve 40 years before his case for remission can be considered – State Government to re-examine this part of the Policy which prima-facie does not seem to be sustainable – Further, it cannot be said that the State Government is precluded from examining the case of the petitioner for remission if an appeal is pending before the High Court – Dual directions issued– one for consideration of the case of the petitioner for remission within three months and the other for consideration of amendment to the Policy of 2021 within four months – Constitution of India, 1950 – Art. 161 – U.P. Prisoners’ Release on Probation Act, 1938. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
