UP CM Adityanath Directs Rules for Ill Prisoner Release
The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, wants to make it easier for prisoners who are very sick, old, or disabled to be released early.
He told officials to create clear rules that follow the Supreme Court's guidelines.
The new rules will mean that prisoners who qualify should be considered for release automatically, without having to ask.
He also wants to review cases three times a year.
However, prisoners who have committed serious crimes like murder won't be eligible.
The goal is to be fair and consider the human side of the situation.
CM Adityanath directed the simplification of premature release rules.
The policy aims to be transparent and align with Supreme Court guidelines.
A statewide survey will identify eligible inmates.
Automatic reviews will be conducted thrice a year.
Inmates will have the right to challenge rejection decisions.
