The Court distinguished constitutional clemency under Article 161 from statutory remission under the Code of Criminal Procedure and held that later executive policy could not displace an earlier policy framed with reference to clemency powers. Although no absolute right to premature release exists, the convict retains a right to fair consideration under the applicable policy framework. The later 13.08.2008 policy therefore could not override the earlier policy applicable at conviction. en-us Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 15:26:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=194496 A life convict's premature release was held to be governed by the remission policy in force on the date of conviction, where that policy shaped the convict's accrued expectation of consideration.
