K.V.Chacko vs State Of Kerala

The Supreme Court addressed the appellant's request for relief under Sections 427 and 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, noting that the High Court had denied leave due to the absence of commutation or remission of the appellant's sentences for murder. The Court held that it would not interfere at this stage since the appeals had attained finality, but allowed the appellant to approach the High Court again if the State Government later commuted or remitted the sentences. The decision emphasizes the importance of the State's role in sentence modification under the Code of Criminal Procedure.
