If any specific case of discrimination is meted out to the petitioner, it is always open to the petitioner to approach this Court citing the same. In the absence of any such discrimination, a general request for remission cannot be entertained without anything more.

4. With the above observation,this petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CS-V) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar gmd/gya To 1.The Government of Tamil Nadu, Represented by its Secretary, Home (Prison VI) Department, Fort St George, Chennai.
