By this writ petition in the nature of habeas corpus, the petitioner prays for release from judicial custody on the ground that he having been sentenced to life imprisonment in the year 1997 and having completed 14 years of physical imprisonment and 20 years, if remission is taken into account, he is entitled to pre-mature release by the Bihar State Sentence Remission Board. In paragraph 9 of the petition, it is stated that Superintendent Sub.Jail, Barh, where the petitioner is now lodged vide his letter no.751 dated 4.7.2011, has already submitted to the Board aforesaid, the details of the period of custody of the petitioner which clearly mentions that the petitioner has been in physical custody for 15 years 11 months and 5 days and total custody, if remission is taken into account, for a period of 20 years 1 month and 11 days. There is recommendation for his pre-mature release. 2 In this State as is usual nothing “moves’ unless “moved”. We do not wish to comment. We only direct the Bihar State Sentence Remission Board to forthwith take up the case of the petitioner and dispose it of in accordance with law within four weeks from the production of a copy of this order before the I.G. Prison, Bihar. If, for any reason, remission is not granted the reasons thereof would have to be communicated to the petitioner within the said period as fixed by us. The State Sentence Remission Board while dealing with the petitioner’s case would dispose of the same taking into account the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of State of Haryana Vs. Jagdish since reported in 2010 (4) SCC 216. With above observation and direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Md.S. (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J.) ( Ashwani Kumar Singh, J.)
