Haryana, for the respondents – State. NAWAB SINGH.J (ORAL) Randhir Singh son of Karan Singh is undergoing imprisonment for life in case bearing First Information Report No.196 dated September 29th, 1994 registered under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, Police Station Khardkhoda, District Sonepat. He filed application seeking premature release but the same was dismissed by the Government by order dated November 29th, 2010 (Annexure R-1). Concededly, the petitioner has undergone actual sentence of 16 years and 27 days and earned remissions of 5 years and 9 months as on October 7th, 2010. Learned State counsel has fairly stated that case of the petitioner to release him prematurely was declined on the short ground that remission period of 6 years was not complete though, he completed 5 years and 9 months and since he has already undergone actual sentence of 16 years and 27 days so, his case shall be sent to the State Government for re- consideration. Since the petitioner has undergone actual sentence of 16 years and 27 days and earned remissions of 5 years and 9 months, it would be in the interest of justice to re-consider the Criminal Misc. No. M-24107 of 2010 2 case of the petitioner hence, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the State to re-consider the case of the petitioner within two months from the date of receipt of this order.
