    Case Summary: WPCR No. 200/2026 The High Court of Chhattisgarh set aside the State's rejection order (dated 02.02.2026) denying premature release to 61-year-old prisoner Brijram, who had served 17 years of a life sentence for a 2009 fatal riot involving multiple convictions. The court found the rejection order violated procedural requirements by failing to record adequate reasons and consider mandatory statutory factors under Rule 358 of the Chhattisgarh Prison Rules, including jail conduct reports, District Magistrate and Police Superintendent opinions, and reformation probability. The matter was remitted to the State Sentence Review Board for reconsideration within four weeks, with directions to pass a reasoned order considering all relevant materials.
