On two motions filed by Kaml Singh in CRL.M.A. 551/2020 and W.P.(CRL) 87/2020, the Court examined his eligibility for parole. Holding that Rule 1210(IV) bars pardon for parole violators, the Court dismissed W.P. and allowed CRL.M.A., subject to exceptions, rejecting the bail/parole plea.
W.P. 87/2020 dismissed; CRL.M.A. 551/2020 allowed subject to just exceptions.
