Whether on the ration of Maru Ram 's decision, in the absence of any guidelines formulated by the State under Article 72 of 161 of the Constitution, section 433A of the Code would not apply to life convicts and the 1958 Rules will prevail for the purpose of exercise of power under Article 72 of 161 of the Constitution? Inter connected with this question, the following .l questions were raised: a) Whether Maru Ram 's decision is in conflict with Kehar Singh 's Judgment on the question of necessity or otherwise of guidelines for the exercise of power under Article 7 and 161 of the constitution? b) Whether the use of two expressions "remission" and "remit" in Articles 72 and 161 convey two different meanings and if yes, whether the content f power in the two expressions is different? c) Whether the persons sentenced to death by Court, whose death sentence has been commuted to life imprisonment by executive clemency, form a distinct and separate class for the purpose of application of section 433A of the Code as well as for the purpose of necessity (or not) of guidelines for premature release in exercise of power under Articles 72 and 161, from the persons who at the initial stage itself were sentenced to life imprisonment by court verdict? And whether in the latter case guidelines are mandatory under Article 72 and 161 and a well designed scheme of remission must be formulated if the constitutional guarantee under Articles 14 and 21 is to be preserved? d) Whether the whole law of remission needs to be reviewed after Bhagirath 's case wherein this Court held that imprisonment 867 for life is also an imprisonment for a term and that a life convict is entitled to set off under section 428 Cr.
