RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present : Mr. R.K. Bagga, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) Petitioner Kuldeep, who is a life convict and undergoing sentence in District Jail, Karnal, has filed this petition with a prayer that the respondents be directed to accept his application for furlough. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and gone through the contents of the petition. The petitioner has not approached the higher authorities for the grant of furlough. Even otherwise, from the perusal of the petition, it appears that the petitioner was released on agriculture parole and he was to surrender on 22.7.2011, but he did not surrender within time. In view of this Crl. W.P. No. 1671 of 2011 -2- fact, we are not inclined to issue the aforesaid direction to the respondents. Dismissed. However, it will be open for the petitioner to approach the higher authorities. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE September 08, 2011 ( ARVIND KUMAR ) ndj JUDGE
