00:00There are two types of prisoners in jails. One is a convict and the other is an under-trial prisoner.
00:05Under-trial prisoners are those whose cases are long in the courts.
00:10Either they have appealed somewhere or their case is going on.
00:14In Jabalpur jail, there are 1400 convicts and about 1800 under-trial prisoners.
00:23Most of the under-trial prisoners are 3 to 5 years old.
00:27But here in Balaghat, Shiv Chandan Dehle is also in jail.
00:32He has been in jail for 27 years and his case is still pending in the court.
00:38Actually, Shiv Chandan Dehle reached jail for the first time in 1996 and has not been released since then.
00:48He is still standing in the Madhya Pradesh High Court with his appeal.
00:54Shiv Chandan Dehle has two charges.
00:56The first charge is of 1996, in which there was a riot in a village and a man was killed.
01:03In which 5 other accused were also punished along with Shiv Chandan.
01:09But the rest of the accused were released by the Supreme Court.
01:13But Shiv Chandan remained in jail. He was not pardoned.
01:20The second time, a dangerous criminal was killed in jail.
01:26In which Shiv Chandan was locked up in another barrack.
01:30But despite that, he was also accused.
01:33In this way, he was accused of two murders.
01:36Although Shiv Chandan's share in both is not clear.
01:41But despite that, he has been in jail for 27 years.
01:46An advocate of Jabalpur, Brijesh Rajak, believes that Shiv Dehle is innocent and he should be released.
01:55That's why he took this case without any money.
01:59Brijesh Rajak says that Shiv Chandan Dehle is in jail because of the wrong policy of the jail.
02:10In 2015, he filed a WP in the Honorable High Court.
02:17The jail administration betrayed him and withdrew the appeal in the Supreme Court.
02:24But the rest of the accused were released by the Supreme Court.
02:36If Shiv Chandan Dehle's case had not been withdrawn, he would have been acquitted.
02:41And Shiv Chandan Dehle would have been released.
02:45In 2015, Shiv Chandan Dehle was sentenced for jail murder.
02:49Immediately after the sentence, Shiv Chandan Dehle appealed in the Supreme Court.
02:54After the Supreme Court heard the case and the evidence,
03:05Shiv Chandan Dehle was immediately put on bail.
03:13He was released on bail.
03:20Shiv Chandan Dehle was sentenced for jail murder.
03:28How long has he been in jail?
03:30According to his custody certificate, he has been sentenced for 26-27 years.
03:36Including remission, he has been sentenced for 40-42 years.
03:41If Shiv Chandan Dehle would have been given maximum sentence, how long would it have been?
03:46Shiv Chandan Dehle was initially sentenced in 1998.
03:52In 2012, he was released.
03:56In 2013, he was sentenced for premature release.
04:02He has been sentenced for maximum 14 years.
04:08Shiv Chandan Dehle has been in jail for 27 years.
04:15Why hasn't he been released?
04:19He has been in jail for 27 years.
04:25According to the new policy of the government,
04:31under CRPC-433, a committee is formed to reduce the sentence of prisoners.
04:44This has been going on for the last 2-3 years.
04:50Under CRPC-433, a committee is formed to reduce the sentence of prisoners.
05:00The government has given specific instructions on how the prisoners should be taken.
05:05The prisoners who are under double murder,
05:11are considered ineligible under the current policy of the government.
05:18In addition to this, the prisoners who are under Section 376,
05:24who are involved in terrorist activities,
05:27who are involved in prostitution,
05:29or who are involved in other terrorist activities,
05:33such instructions have been given.
05:35Some acts have been given.
05:37In addition to this, it has been given that
05:40under the old IPC,
05:42if there are two separate murders,
05:44especially if there is a murder in jail,
05:46he is ineligible.
05:48We send him to the government through the committee.
05:53He is not eligible to be released under these instructions.
05:56That is why he is not able to be released.
05:58It is possible that the policy of the government may change.
06:00The government may think about it.
06:02He can be released.
06:03Due to being in jail,
06:05Shiv Dehle's family is on the streets.
06:07His two daughters have not been able to get married.
06:09They have been in jail for the past 27 years.
06:12The family is in dire need.
06:14Now we have to see,
06:16when this case is heard in the High Court on 15th January,
06:19what order does the High Court give to the jail administration?
