New Delhi [India], The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the premature release of gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli, who is serving life imprisonment in a murder case, till further orders.
A vacation bench of Justices Arvind Kumar and Sandeep Mehta stayed the implementation of the April 5 order of the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court.
The high court had ordered Maharashtra state authorities to consider Gawli's application for premature release under the 2006 remission policy.
The apex court also issued notice to Gawli on the Maharashtra government's petition in the case.
The Maharashtra government moved the apex court seeking a stay on the April 5 order of the high court.The Nagpur bench of the high court had accepted Gawli's plea, where he had sought a direction to the government for his premature release due to the remission policy of January 10, 2006, which was applicable on his sentencing date of August 31. Was. 2012.
Gawli, who is serving life imprisonment under MCOCA provisions in the 2006 murder of Mumbai Shiv Sena councilor Kamlakar Jamsandekar, has claimed to have followed all the terms of the 2006 policy.
Gawli said the rejection of his application for premature release by the state authorities is unjust, arbitrary and deserves to be quashed.
The Maharashtra government opposed his petition before the High Court for premature release, saying that the revised guidelines dated March 18, 2010 for premature release contemplate that no premature release of a convict of organized crime shall take place unless He should not undergo actual imprisonment of 40 years.
The High Court had rejected the arguments of the state government and given four weeks' time to the authorities to pass consequential orders in that regard.However, on May 9, the state government again moved the High Court seeking four months' time to implement the April 5 order and said it has challenged the decision in the apex court.
The High Court then gave the government four more weeks to implement its April 5 order granting Gawli's premature release and made it clear that no further extension would be given.
He was arrested and tried in 2006 for the murder of Jamsandekar. In August 2012, a sessions court in Mumbai sentenced him to life imprisonment in the murder case.
Gawli (68) was a gangster from Dagdi Chawl in Byculla and later founded the All India Army.He was MLA from Chinchpokli seat of Mumbai from 2004-09.
