The Home Secretary (Prison) vs H. Nilofer Nisha on 23 January, 2020
23. In our considered view, the said request cannot be
considered, for the simple reason, when statutorily there is a forum
constituted for considering the individual case for premature release by
taking into account the various facts and circumstances, as
enumerated in the Tamil Nadu Prison Rules, 1983, this Court cannot
usurp the power of the said forum and exercise the powers of the
Advisory Board. Therefore, this request is rejected.”
