Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court denying the appellant's request for furlough based on the conditions set by the President of India when commuting his death sentence to life imprisonment. The court emphasized that the terms of the commutation explicitly stated that the appellant would serve his life sentence without parole or remission. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
