SURENDRA vs STATE OF U.P. & ANR

The Supreme Court directed the release of the petitioner who had completed 14 years of imprisonment, following the orders of remission granted by the Governor of Uttar Pradesh. The Court noted that the orders of remission were set aside by the Allahabad High Court, but emphasized that similar cases had previously resulted in release after serving the requisite period. The Court held that the petitioner should be released from custody immediately, provided he is not required in any other case.
