Rajahmundry, Aug 13th: The State Human Rights Council (SHRC) appealed to the Chief Minister, Dr. Y.S Raja Shekar Reddy to initiate measures for the release of prisoners based on the guidelines issued under GO MS No.196 on August 15. In a representation sent to the Chief Minister, the SHRC president and advocate, Mr. Muppala Subba Rao, said that based on the directions issued on February 12, 2009 with reference to GO MS 196, as many as 181 life convicts from Rajahmundry Central Prison were eligible for release.
He appealed to the Chief Minister to allow their release as thier family members were waiting for so long for their release. When the government issued the GO, several reformed prisoners were high that they would be released soon. However the GO was challenged in the Supreme Court by filing a writ resulting in further delay. Later the SC sorted out the issue. Meanwhile the government has issued another GO making some changes in the previous GO. Mr. Rao regretted over the reports that the prisoners could not be released until August 24 and sought the intervention of the CM to release the prisoners as per the norms on GO MS No. 196.
