Respondents. Mr. Arfan Saith, Advocate appointed for the Petitioner. Mrs. A. S. Pai, Addl. P.P. for the State. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI and A. P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : 22ND APRIL, 2008. P. C.: The petitioner wants premature release, as he has served, according to him, imprisonment of more than 20 years inclusive of remission and as such he is entitled to be released. Counter affidavit has been filed, in which it is stated that the actual period of imprisonment undergone by the petitioner was 11 years, 5 months and 25 days as on 28th February, 2008, but he has to undergo actual imprisonment of 14 years. Therefore, the petitioner cannot be released in terms of the guidelines framed on the subject. 2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that he wanted to confirm whether during the trial he had only remained in prison for four 2 months and 25 days as claimed by the affidavit filed by the respondent. However, he has not been able to gather the information. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor has produced a copy of the letter received from the Satara District Jail, where the petitioner had undergone imprisonment during the period of trial, which discloses that he was in jail for 4 months and 25 days. Copy of the said letter is taken on record. As such, there is no material before us to come to a conclusion that the assertion made in the counter affidavit is not correct. 3. In view of the above, writ petition is dismissed. 4. Copy of this order be sent to the petitioner, who is in jail. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A. P. BHANGALE, J.)
