PARKASH Vs. SATE OF HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioners, who are convicts under the NDPS Act, seek a direction to the respondents not to withdraw the remissions granted to them from time to time under paras 633-A, 639, 644 of the Punjab Jail Manual. The respondents, however, have defended their action with the plea that the petitioners are not entitled to any remission in view of Section 32-A of the NDPS Act.

(2.) IT is not the case of the petitioners that any remission has been awarded to them by the Governor of Haryana in exercise of his powers under Article 161 of the Constitution of India. As per their own case, remissions were granted to them under certain provisions of the Punjab Jail Manual, which is of statutory nature.
