This move was challenged in Supreme Court by Uma Krishnaiah, the wife of Gopalganj District Magistrate, G Krishnaiah. The petitioner challenged the April 10 circular issued by the Bihar Government and Rule 481(1)(a) of the amended Bihar Prison Manual, 2012.
On May 8, the Supreme asked the government of Bihar to explain its decision to prematurely release Mohan, who had been serving life imprisonment.
The Supreme Court also directed the government of Bihar to produce original records of documents in the matter.
