  "summary": "The Supreme Court has dismissed gangster Abu Salem's plea for premature release in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta ruled against Salem after hearing his arguments challenging the Bombay High Court's decision to reject his plea. Salem sought to count the remission earned for good conduct and the period spent in custody as an undertrial towards the 25-year imprisonment cap linked to India's extradition assurances to Portugal.",
