SC asks UP government to consider premature release of Babloo Srivastava

New Indian Express  

The Supreme Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to take a decision within two months in connection with the gangster Babloo Srivastava's plea seeking a direction for his premature release in a 1993 murder of an additional customs collector. Babloo, alias Om Prakash Srivastava, had knocked on the doors of the apex court after the UP government informed the SC that it had rejected his premature release in November last year. Srivastava has contended that he has served around 28 years in prison and has good conduct in jail, making him entitled to premature release as per the policy of the UP government. While keeping in view the fact that the convict, Srivastava, already served a jail sentence of 28 years, the top court directed the UP government to consider his case for remission under section 473 of BNSS at the earliest.
