The text further states that once such a remission is held invalid, a court may strike it down but cannot expand it into a general remission for prisoners outside the notified categories. The stated consequence was that the impugned judgments were set aside, while the benefit already obtained under the High Court's order was not required to be surrendered. en-us Wed, 20 Sep 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 14:42:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169273 A special remission confined to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe prisoners was analysed under Article 15(4) and found not to be a valid protective measure, because convicted prisoners remain on the same footing for remission purposes and the classification could not be justified as advancement of those communities.
