    Case Summary: WPCR 250/2026 The Chhattisgarh High Court allowed Topsingh's writ petition and set aside the State's rejection of his premature release application, holding that the rejection order violated mandatory procedural requirements under amended Rule 358 of the Chhattisgarh Prison Rules, 1968. The court found the State's order was non-speaking and arbitrary, merely citing the grave nature of the offense without considering the petitioner's 14+ years of incarceration, satisfactory jail conduct, repeated parole releases without adverse reports, and the sentencing judge's favorable opinion. The court directed the State to proceed with premature release in accordance with law, emphasizing that discretionary powers under remission statutes must be exercised objectively with recorded reasons and cannot ignore relevant mitigating factors.
