STATE OF HARYANA vs GHASEETA RAM

The Supreme Court addressed the application of para 633-A of the Punjab Jail Manual concerning the cancellation of remission earned by a prisoner. The Court held that the punishment imposed by the Jail Superintendent for the respondent's actions, which included assaulting a jail warden while serving a life sentence under Sections 302/149 and 148 IPC, did not violate the principle of double jeopardy as outlined in Article 20 of the Constitution. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the legality of the punishment and the authority of the Jail Superintendent to impose it.
