A convict can't be deprived of right to live with dignity, says HC
Sunday, 14 January 2024
A person cannot be deprived of the right to live with dignity merely because that person is convicted, said Calcutta high court in a case where a woman’s request for premature release of her husband — serving a life sentence — was dismissed by the West Bengal State Sentence Review Board, reports Aheli Banerjee. Ordering the Board to reconsider the woman’s request, Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya said the petitioner’s husband has already spent a considerable period behind bars and there cannot be a double punishment by refusing to reintegrate him into mainstream society.
