Judgment
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned
Additional Advocate General III for the Opposite Parties.
By this M.J.C. application the petitioner has sought
initiation of contempt proceedings against the opposite parties for not
taking decision appropriate in the case as directed.
To cut short the matter, the petitioner has sought
premature release having served almost 20 years of physical
imprisonment and 26 years of imprisonment, if remission is taken into
account.
Mr. P.K. Verma, learned Additional Advocate General III has
brought to the notice of this Court the recommendation of the State
Sentence Remission Board, who in their proceedings dated 24.01.2017
have considered the case of the petitioner under item no. 13 and
recommended his immediate release.
In view of the aforesaid, this application has become
infructuous and disposed of as such.
We hope that in view of the order of the State Sentence
Remission Board as noted above, signed on 27.01.2017, it is expected
that by now the petitioner must have been released. If not, he shall be
released forthwith, not later than 24 hours from today.
