WRIT PETITION (CRL.)NO.135\/2003
\n\tIn this petition under Article 32 of the Constitution the petitioner prays for
\nquashing of Annexures P-1, P-2 and P-3.  Annexure P-1 is a publication in India
\nToday. No particular has been disclosed by the petitioner. Annexure P-2 is the
\npublication in Hindustan Times. No material particular has been disclosed. Annexure
\nP-3 is list of accused granted remission by the Government.  Charge under Section
\n302 IPC in respect of accused\/Kulwant Singh has been shown to have withdrawn on
\n03.12.2001. In the list  Annexure P-3 besides Kulwant Singh none of the accused
\nhas been convicted\/charged under Section 302 IPC. Therefore, the contention of the
\nlearned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the accused who has been convicted
\nunder Section 302 IPC. has been arbitrarily released prematurely is not
\nsubstantiated. This petition being abuse of the process of the Court is accordingly
\ndismissed.\n<\/p>\n
WRIT PETITION (CRL.)NO.200\/2003
\n\tIn view of our order passed in WRIT PETITION (CRL.)NO.135\/2003 this
\npetition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n

WRIT PETITION (CRL.)NO.267\/2003
\n\tIn this writ petition petitioner prays for the following reliefs :
\na.\tIssue notice on the Union of India and States and Uts. of the
\nUnion.\n<\/p>\n
b.\tIssue  writ in the  nature of writ of mandamus\/ order or
\ndirection to the respondents for releasing life convicts after 14 years
\nterm in jail generally and to release all life convicts particularly
\ndetailed in Annexures P-2 to P-4.\n<\/p>\n
c.\tConstitute an expert Committee to deal with the case of life
\nconvicts languishing in jail even after 14 years term.
\nd.\tIn the alternative, issue an appropriate writ, order or direction
\nto the Respondent Union of India, the States and the Union
\nTerritories to frame uniform rules and guidelines for exercise of
\npowers under Articles 72 and 161 of the Constitution keeping large
\nreservoir of power to deal with exceptional situations as observed in
\nthe Maru Ram case but subject to recording of reasons;
\ne.\tIssue an appropriate writ, order or direction to the Respondent
\nUnion of India, the States and the Union Territories to treat the
\nmandatory minimum period of 14 years to be served by certain life
\nconvicts under Section 433-A as only one of the guidelines under
\nArticles 72 and 161 of the Constitution.\n<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t     …3\/-\n<\/p>\n
\t\t\t: 3 :<\/span><\/p>\n
f. Issue an appropriate writ, order or direction that all the cases of life
\nconvicts must mandatorily and automatically be reviewed by a board
\nafter a specified period (which in the case of convicts covered under
\nSection 433A of the Cr.P.C. is at the end of 13 years in prison) on an
\nindividual basis under the above guidelines to consider whether the
\nconvict should be released or not;\n<\/p>\n
g. \tDirect the Respondents to educate the prisoners on their right
\nto be considered for premature release and provide adequate legal aid
\nfor the same.\n<\/p>\n
h. \tIssue any order or direction as this Hon’ble Court finds fit and
\nproper in the circumstances of the case.\n<\/p>\n
\tMr. K. Venugopal, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner at the outset
\nfairly submits that he is not pressing prayer Nos. a and b.  On a reading of the
\nprayers from c to h, we are afraid that in exercise of power under Article 32 of the
\nConstitution such prayer could be acceded.  The prayer, inter alia,  seeks direction to
\namend a law  which power this court does not have.  At the same time, the learned
\ncounsel for the petitioner has also brought to our notice that in the case of Andhra
\nPradesh as many as 1500 hardcore prisoners have been prematurely released. It is no
\ndoubt true that power under Articles  72 and 161, or under Section  433-A can not be
\nexercised arbitrarily, as pointed out by this Court in Maru Ram vs. Union of India
\nand others, (1981) 1 SCC 107. However, there is another difficulty to give effective
\nrelief. The alleged  prematurely released 1500 hardcore prisoners are not before us.
\nTherefore, it is difficult to give effective relief  in exercise  of our power under Article
\n32 of the Constitution.\n<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t…4\/-\n<\/p>\n
\t\t\t: 4 :<\/span><\/p>\n
We, however, clarify that if there are instances that the power has been exercised
\narbitrarily by the State Government it is open to the petitioner to challenge such
\narbitrary exercise of power before the High Court under Article 226 of the
\nConstitution  after impleading the prisoners released prematurely as respondents.
\n\tSubject to the aforesaid observation, we see no merit in this petition. The writ
\npetition is dismissed accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
\tApplication for impleadment is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n

\n\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA\n\nCRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION\n\nCRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 406 OF 2004\n\n\n\nSHAMIM AHMED & ORS.    \t\t\t\t...APPELLANT (S)\n\n\nVERSUS\n\n\nSTATE OF U.P. & ORS.      \t\t\t\t...RESPONDENT(S)\n\n\n     \n\nO R D E R\n\n\n<\/pre>\n
\t    This appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated 27th September, 2001 passed by
\nthe Division Bench of the High Court of Allahabad.  By the aforesaid order the High Court has set
\naside the Government Order dated 11th January, 2000 and 25th January, 2000 granting remission
\nto the appellants purportedly in exercise of power under Article 161 of the Constitution.  Para (i)
\nof the aforesaid Order provides premature release of the category of prisoners as under:\n<\/p>\n
(i)\tPrisoners who had undergone 20 years of sentence with remission by
\n26.1.2000;\n<\/p>\n
(ii)\tMale prisoners of 60 years or above, who had been sentenced to
\nimprisonment for life and had undergone 3 years of sentence (without
\nremission) by 26.1.2000;\n<\/p>\n
(iii)\tLady prisoners of 50 years or above who had been sentenced to
\nimprisonment for life and had undergone 3 years of sentence (without
\nremission) by 26.1.2000;\n<\/p>\n
(iv)\tMale prisoners of 60 years or above who had been sentenced to a fixed
\nterm of imprisonment and undergone 1\/3 of the sentence imposed upon
\nthem or 2 years which ever is less;\n<\/p>\n
(v)\tLady prisoners of 50 years or above who had been sentenced to a fixed
\nterm of imprisonment and had undergone 1\/3 of the sentence imposed
\nupon them or 2 years which ever is less.\n<\/p>\n
\tThe High Court has quashed the aforesaid order on the ground that the power has been
\nexercised arbitrarily and in violation of the statutory provisions of Section 433A of the Code of
\nCriminal Procedure.\n<\/p>\n
\tAfter hearing the learned counsel for the appellants and going through the judgment of
\nthe High Court, we entirely agree with the view taken by the Division Bench of the High Court.
\nA perusal of Clause (ii) of the Government Order discloses the male prisoners of 60 years or
\nabove, who had been sentenced to imprisonment for life and had undergone 3 years of sentence
\n(without remission) by 26.1.2000 and clause (iii) discloses the  lady prisoners of 50 years or
\nabove who had been sentenced to imprisonment for life and had undergone 3 years of sentence
\n(without remission) by 26.1.2000.\n<\/p>\n
\tValidity of Section 433A of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been challenged before
\na Constitution Bench of this Court in Maru Ram Vs. Union of India & Others [1981 (1) SCC
\n107] in which this Court had upheld the validity of Section 433A.  This Court also pointed out
\nthat even the power under Article 72 and 161 of the Constitution should not be exercised
\narbitrarily.  Counsel for the appellants contended that the order of remand has been passed by
\nthe State Government in exercise of power under Article 161 of the Constitution which is quite
\ndifferent from the power under Section 433A of the Code of Criminal Procedure.  While
\nreading the order of the Government it appears that even assuming the Government has
\nexercised power under Article 161 of the Constitution, it appears to be quite arbitrary and the
\nHigh Court was justified in setting aside the aforesaid order.
\n\tIn the result, there are no merits in this appeal and the same is dismissed.
\n\tWe clarify that if any appellants have completed 14 years of actual imprisonment, he or
\nthey may approach the State Government\/concerned authority for appropriate orders and the
\nconcerned authority shall dispose of the petition expeditiously.
\n\tThe application for deletion of the name of respondents is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
