Article 14 & 21 | Individualized Remission Mandatory for Life Convicts Under Assam Policy: Gauhati HC
Gauhati HC rules that blanket rejection of remission applications for life convicts violates constitutional rights. The court directed reconsideration of the petitioner’s case within three months, emphasizing case-by-case assessment under the 2015 Assam remission policy. This sets a precedent for fair procedural compliance in remission proceedings.
