The counter filed on behalf of respondents is taken on record.
The grievance of the petitioner is that the benefit of the
remissions was denied to him (in respect of the period he was on bail),
even for the period prior to 11.9.1991 when the Apex Court Judgment in
Criminal Nos. 910/919 of 2001 (Joginder Singh Vs. State of Punjab and
others) was delivered.
Learned State counsel has no objection to the grant of request
made by the learned counsel for the petitioner.
The petition shall stand disposed of accordingly. The
competent authority shall provide benefit of remissions (qua the period he
was on bail )announced from time to time upto 11.9.2001 and consider the
premature release case of the petitioner on the basis thereof. The
exercise shall be concluded within one month from today. It will be for the
State counsel to communicate the order to the competent authority.
Copy of the order be given to the learned State counsel under
the signatures of the Court Secretary.
