Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed Writ Petition (Crl.) No. 135 of 2003, holding that the petitioner's claim regarding the arbitrary release of an accused under Section 302 IPC was unsubstantiated, as no accused had been convicted under that section. Consequently, Writ Petition (Crl.) No. 200 of 2003 was also dismissed. In Writ Petition (Crl.) No. 267 of 2003, the Court declined to grant relief for the release of life convicts after 14 years, stating that the power to amend laws is beyond its jurisdiction under Article 32 of the Constitution.
