They had contended that they had served more than 14 years in custody but their cases were not placed by the Jail Authorities before the State Advisory Boards for shortening of their sentences and premature release. The had hence, challenged the constitutionality of the impugned Rule for putting a fetter on consideration of their cases till they earned a minimum of four years of remission after completing 14 years of actual imprisonment\u00a0\u00a0 excluding remission, as being contrary to Section 433\u00adA Cr.P.C.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Rajasthan High Court\u2019s<\/strong> <strong>verdict<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Rules, 2006 were framed by the State Government in exercise of powers under Clause (2) &amp; (5) of Section 59 (1) of the Prisons Act, 1894. The Rajasthan High Court held that the Rules not having been placed before the Legislature of the State as required by Section 59(2) of the Act did not acquire statutory force. Furthermore, the Rules could not have been framed contrary to Section 433\u00adA CrPC. It, hence, struck down the latter part of Rule 8(2)(i) requiring a minimum of four years remission after completion of 14 years in custody on both counts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>SC on Section 59(2) of the Prisons Act<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In appeal, the Court held that that<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cthe plain language of Section 59(2) makes it manifest that there is no requirement for laying of the Rules before the Legislature prior to promulgation. No time limit for laying has been provided. As rightly urged, the use of words \u201cas soon as\u201d coupled with the absence of any consequence for not laying makes the provision directory and not mandatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>SC on Section 433-A CrPC<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Section 433-\u00adA Cr.P.C. provides that remission or commutation shall not enable release of the convict from prison unless the person had served at least 14 years of imprisonment. It, therefore, fixes a minimum period before which remission could not be considered.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAny rule that may provide to consider remission before 14 years would obviously be bad in view of the statutory provision contained in the Code.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[State of Rajasthan v.
