New Delhi, Feb 2 : In a bid to streamline the disposal of pendency of applications by convicts seeking premature release, the Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the states to submit their reports to the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) on the issue.
A bench comprising Justices Sanjaya Kishan Kaul and Hrishikesh Roy noted that the convicts should avail the remedy of remission as soon as possible and emphasised that the states should submit their reports via state legal services authorities to the NALSA.
