The Uttarakhand High Court has expressed strong displeasure over the continued incarceration of 140 eligible convicts who remain behind bars in the state’s prisons despite having completed the required sentence period for release.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice G. Narendar and Justice Rakesh Thapliyal directed the State Government to constitute a Competent Authority Board within two weeks to consider such cases and expedite the release process.
More detailed awaited.
