1) Supreme court guidelines for releasing convict prematurely on remission
This Court also issued certain guidelines as to the basis on which a convict can be released prematurely and they are as under:
1. Whether the offence is an individual act of crime without affecting the society at large.
2. Whether there is any fruitful purpose of confining of this convict anymore.
3. Whether there is any chance of future recurrence of committing crime.
4. Whether the convict has lost his potentiality in committing crime.
5. Socio-economic condition of the convict's family. {Para 6}.

5) Whether Govt GR regarding special remission on account of 125th Birth Anniversary of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar is applicable to person convicted of offence of rape or POCSO Act?
The GR dated 03.06.2017 carves out six categories which have been excluded from the applicability of GR. Apparently, the offence of rape or POCSO Act does not fall in the exceptional category. The learned Trial Court has misread the said GR while opining that due to seriousness of offence, the petitioner is not eligible. Apparently, the reason accorded by the Sessions Judge is not in consonance with the said GR and thus, the denial is unjust and arbitrary.
