Moti Lal v. State of Raj.
Case brief
What is this about?
Adjourned and disposed of a writ petition challenging the time limit for parole consideration. Held that the Supreme Court's guidelines do not fix statutory timelines and High Courts lack authority to impose oral ones, as parole is a privilege based on individual evaluation.

Prison authorities ordered to consider such petitions within their existing framework without imposing fixed days.
