DATED : 29/04/2026 1.

Heard.

2.

The petitioner is seeking the benefit of remission in terms of the Government Resolution dated 03.06.2017. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the other co-accused has been extended the said benefit in Criminal Writ Petition No.13/2026 decided on 19.01.2026. Considering the clause in Government Resolution as well as the report of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Buldhana. We do not find any reason why should the petitioner not get the benefit of the said Government Resolution.

4.

The petition is, accordingly, allowed. The communication dated 13.11.2025 issued by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Buldhana, stating that conviction under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code is the conviction and a Central legislation and, therefore, the benefit cannot be extended, is apparently erroneous. The said communication

(2) 32.wp.249.2026 accordingly quashed and set aside. The respondents shall extend the benefit in terms of the Government Resolution dated 03.06.2017, if otherwise there is no other legal impediment. With the aforesaid directions, the petition is disposed of.
