The Supreme Court of India upheld the High Court's order granting habeas corpus to convict P. Reddy Bhaskar, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder under Section 302 IPC. The court noted that the convict had escaped from custody twice but emphasized that the state failed to provide sufficient grounds for his continued detention despite the remission granted to other life convicts. Consequently, the court directed his release from prison.
