Dated this the 6th day of April, 2026 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the mother of Sri.Sanish (Convict No.3826), who has been lodged in the Open Prison and Correctional Home, Nettukaltheri, Thiruvananthapuram. He was convicted under Section 302 of IPC by the Sessions Court, Thiruvananthapuram in Sessions Case No.400/2012. He was also convicted under various penal sections of the Indian Penal Code. The Sessions Court sentenced him to life imprisonment under Section 302 of IPC with a rider that accused No.2 shall not be released from the prison for a period of 20 years. He challenged the conviction and sentence in Criminal Appeal No.121/2013 before this Court.
