A bench of Justices BR Gavai and BV Nagarathna passed the order after noting that both the convicts displayed good conduct in the prison and had been behind bars for a very long period.
“Nalini has been behind bars for over three decades and her conduct has also been satisfactory. She has a PG diploma in Computer Application. Ravichandran’s conduct has also been found to be satisfactory and he has undertaken various studies during his incarceration including a PG diploma in Arts. He has also collected various amounts for charity,” the Court noted.
It, therefore, allowed their plea and directed their release.
“Applicants are thus directed to be released unless wanted in any other case. Matter accordingly disposed of,” the order said.
