Delhi High Court Orders Premature Release of Life Convict After 20 Years
The Delhi High Court ordered the premature release of Moti, a double-murder convict who served over 20 years in prison. Justice Girish Kathpalia emphasized the importance of reformation over retribution, citing ancient texts like the Rig Veda. The court noted Moti was 19 at the time of the crime, had completed his graduation, and showed determination to reintegrate into society. The decision followed repeated rejections of his release plea without genuine reconsideration by authorities.
