Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a contempt petition filed by a life convict against the State of West Bengal for failing to comply with its order dated 24.11.2010, which directed the state to consider the convict's claim for remission under the West Bengal Correctional Services Act, 1992. The Court held that the state had not violated its order, as it had considered the convict's request and rejected it based on the provisions of the Act. The Court dismissed the contempt petition, affirming the state's decision regarding the convict's premature release.
