P.C.:

.

Heard learned counsel (appointed) for the petitioner and learned APP. The Petitioner claims remission under remission scheme floated on account of 125th Anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar. 2.

Learned APP pointed out that the petitioner is convict under NDPS Act and in terms of policy decision dated 3/6/2017 as explained later, since he is convict under Central enactment, he is not entitled to benefit thereof.
