Delhi govt. orders remission of sentence to decongest jails
Former Haryana Chief Minister and Indian National Lok Dal president Om Prakash Chautala, who is serving a 10-year prison term in a teacher recruitment scam case, will be released from the Tihar jail as the Delhi government has granted a remission of his sentence, officials said on Wednesday. The 86-year-old leader was jailed on January 16, 2013 and is out on emergency parole since March 26, 2020. He will be released as part of a drive to decongest Delhi’s prisons given the pandemic situation. The Delhi government on Monday issued an order regarding special remission of six months to convicts who have already served nine years and six months of their 10-year prison term. The order allowed remittance of five months to convicts sentenced to seven to 10 years and left with five months’ jail time and four-month remission to those sentenced to five to seven years and left with four months of their sentence.
