Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition under Article 32 filed by a convict seeking premature release from life imprisonment for murder. The petitioner was convicted under Sections 302 and 149 of the IPC for a violent attack resulting in the deaths of two individuals. The court examined the circumstances of the conviction and the absence of evidence supporting caste-based discrimination, ultimately denying the petition for premature release.
