HYDERABAD: The exercise for granting remission to convicted prisoners in Telangana is back to square one with Telangana government all set to issue fresh guidelines to decide on the eligible prisoners. The government’s order on the guidelines is expected to come in a day or two.
During the previous BRS government a list of file prepared by the then dispensation, was returned by Governor without giving consent.
Now, the newly formed Congress government in Telangana decided to give remission to eligible convicts by initiating the procedure afresh.
“The government is all set to issue guidelines to decide on who will become eligible for remission. A committee is going to be formed by the government and they will take up case by case to zero-down on eligible prisoners,” sources in Telangana Police told TOI.
As per the procedure, the list to be prepared by the committee will be sent to government, who inturn will send it to Governor, for final consent before. Its after Governor’s consent the convicts can come out of jail.
Previously, it was almost four years ago eligible convicts were released.
However, when a similar exercise was taken up once again by the previous government, more than a year ago, the Governer after vetting returned the file to government.
