Learned counsel appearing for applicant states that the applicant was convicted by the trial court for the offence punishable under section 307 read with section 34 of Indian Penal Code and was sentended to suffer R.I. for 5 years.The application for bail was rejected on 24/2/2005 on the ground that no circumstance was made for the grant of bail.

In my view for that purpose, application can apply for furlough leave. According to rules, the sentence is not more than 5 years.

If the applicant makes an application for furlough leave, the Government to consider the same expeditiously and take cognizance of the same within a period of 3 weeks.
