State Of Haryana & Others vs Mohinder Singh

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of remission of sentence for convicts on bail, specifically under Section 432 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court upheld the High Court's view that a convict is entitled to remission for the period spent on bail, distinguishing between conviction and sentence. However, in the case of a convict under Section 376 IPC, the Court noted that the government circular explicitly excludes such convicts from remission, thereby denying the claim for remission in that specific instance.
