    SUMMARY: WPCR 256/2026 - Dhoni alias Dhuni Yadav v. State of Chhattisgarh The High Court of Chhattisgarh allowed the writ petition and quashed the rejection of the petitioner's premature release application. The court held that Rule 358(6)(ix) of the Chhattisgarh Jail Rules (restricting premature release for those convicted of murder in "two or more cases") applies only to convictions in separate, distinct cases—not multiple victims in a single case. Since the petitioner was tried in one sessions trial arising from one incident, the restrictive rule did not apply. The court directed his immediate release, noting his 16+ years imprisonment and satisfactory jail conduct. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
