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. The government’s order on the guidelines is expected to come within the next couple of days, sources said.
During the previous BRS government, the file on list of prisoners granted remission was returned by governor Tamilisai Soundararajan without giving consent. Now, the new Congress government intends to revise the entire process.
“The government will soon issue guidelines to decide on who will be eligible for remission. A committee will be formed by the government which will take up each case to zero in on eligible prisoners,” a source in state police told TOI.
The last time convicted prisoners were granted remission in the state was four years ago.
