were convicted by the High Court on 23.09.2005 and they were sentenced to undergo 5 years rigorous imprisonment. Both the persons were in jail at that time. The sentence started running from the date of judgment i.e. 23.09.2005. As a matter of fact, Surender Singh was released in the year 2010. The complainant Kripal Singh still languishes in the jail. If the warrant of sentence in the case of the complainant was not sent in time by the concerned authority, it was a lapse on the part of the administration and the complainant cannot be made to suffer for such lapse. The complainant completed the term of sentence on 23.09.2010 and his detention in jail beyond that date is illegal. The Commission directed to the Government of Uttar Pradesh to pay a sum of Rs. 1 lakh as monetary relief to complainant Kripal Singh. (h) Electrocution Cases 26.
