casestatus.in Summary

Summary of State of Haryana v. Mohinder Singh (2000) The Supreme Court held that convicts released on bail are not entitled to sentence remission under government circulars issued under Section 432 CrPC. The Court rejected the High Court's reasoning that remission should apply during bail periods (like parole/furlough), clarifying that remission is only earned during actual jail confinement, and that convicts on bail resume remission eligibility only after re-admission to jail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
