STATE OF HARYANA vs NAURATTA SINGH .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a convicted prisoner is entitled to remission for the period spent on bail. The Court held that the period during which the respondent was on bail cannot be counted towards remission under Section 433-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which mandates that a convict must serve a minimum of 14 years of actual imprisonment before being eligible for remission. The Court confirmed the High Court's decision that the respondent's claim for remission was not valid, thereby dismissing the appeal by the State of Haryana.
