धारा 432 सी.आर.पी.सी. के अन्तर्गत रिहाई के मामलों में उच्चतम न्यायालय एवं उच्च न्यायालय, इलाहाबाद के कतिपय महत्वपूर्ण निर्णयों के उद्धरण जिलाधिकारियों एवं पुलिस अधीक्षकों के मार्ग दर्शन हेतु नीचे दिये जा रहे हैं ।
“The conduct of the prisoner while in jail is an important factor to be considered as to whether he has lost his potentiality in committing crime due to long period of detention. The views of the witnesses who were examined during trial and the people of the locality cannot determine whether prisoner would be a danger to the locality, if released prematurely. This has to be considered keeping in view the conduct of the Prisoners during the period they were undergoing sentence.”
Zahid Hussain and other Vs State of W.B. & others AIR 2001 SC 1312: (2001) 3 SCC 750
"That the convict has" no source of means of living" is not a valid ground for refusal for premature release"
“The prisoner” may commit a crime after release" is a hypothetical ground and not a valid ground for refusal"
Kansi Ram Vs State of U.P-1990 SCC (cri) 536
"In a case the request for premature release was rejected by the Review Board on the following grounds, it was held that the grounds of rejection were not sustainable.
a. police report is adverse;
b. the convicts are not over-aged persons and as such have not lost the potentiality in committing crime;
c. since other co-convicts were trying to come out from jail, there was a possibility of regrouping for antisocial activities;
d. the offence was not an individual act of crime but was affecting society at large;
e. convicts were anti-social; and
f. the witnesses who had deposed at the trial as well as local people were Apprehensive of retaliation in the event of premature release."
रिहाई में उम्र बाधक नहीं होनी चाहिये। उम्र धारा 432 दं0प्र0सं0 के अन्तर्गत शर्त नहीं रही है मात्र काटी गई कारावास की अवधि एवं आचरण ही ध्यान में रखे जाते रहे हैं।
"Age alone can not be a factor while considering whether the prisoner has still potentiality of committing crime or not................."
Zahid Hussain and others Vs State of W.B. & others AIR 2001 SC 1312: (2001) 3 SCC 750
बन्दी को कारागार के अंदर बूढ़ा करके बेकार कर देना सजा का उद्देश्य नहीं है। बन्दी को "Reclaiming as a useful member of society" भी एक महत्वपूर्ण आधार है। राष्ट्रीय मानव अधिकार आयोग ने समस्त राज्यों के मुखय सचिवों/प्रशासकों को अपने दिनांक 26 सितम्बर, 2003 के पत्र में भी ऐसी ही संस्तुतियॉं की हैं।
रिपोर्ट अंकित करते समय ध्यान देने योग्यः-
जिलाधिकारी एवं पुलिस अधीक्षक को अपनी रिपोर्ट देते समय ध्यान देना चाहिये कि रिहाई का विरोध मात्र विﾔािद्गट आधार होने पर ही किया जाये। थाना प्रभारियों को इस विषय में भली भॉंति ब्रीफ कर दिया जाना चाहिये कि वे बिना आधार अंकित किये हर मामले में विरोध न करें। यदि कोई विशेष तथ्य प्रतिकूल हों तभी विरोध किया जाये और तब उन प्रतिकूल तथ्यों को आधार सहित अंकित किया जाये।
