Vijay kumar v. State of Rajasthan

Rajasthan HC6 Oct 2023CRLA/75/1992

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

This judgment allows appeals by prisoners against their attachment for joint punishment under Section 411 IPC. It holds that service as a practical policeman under Section 26 Reform (Haryana) Act 1986 must be counted towards mitigation, allowing release after one year per appeal rather than the total appended term.

What did the court decide?

Appellants were released from custody after exactly one year per appeal, having served as a practical policeman for the stated period.
