New Delhi, Dec. 18 -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday restrained the Haryana government and the Punjab & Haryana High Court from releasing on remission the convicts sentenced to life imprisonment for a 2008 kidnapping, after the victim, now a judge in Delhi, complained of persistent and escalating threats from the convicts and their associates.
The bench also issued notices to the Centre and governments of Haryana, Delhi and Gujarat on Snehil Sharma's petition, which raised serious concerns about victim safety, witness protection and systemic gaps in parole and remission frameworks for heinous offences.P8
