The Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court dismissed a writ appeal by a married daughter seeking compassionate appointment. The Court said her plea came after her 2005 death.
The Supreme Court mandated that states must inform convicts about denial reasons for remission applications within one week. It emphasized that rejection orders should clarify grounds for refusal and encouraged accessibility of remission policies. The Court also disapproved of delaying applications due to pending appeals, affirming efficient processing of all remission requests.
