DATED : 17th AUGUST, 2011. P.C. 1. This application is filed through jail in disposed of Writ Petition No.1818/2010. While disposing of the Writ Petition, this Court in its order dated 27th October, 2010 had opined that the petitioner was rightly categorized under category No.1(e) of the Guidelines framed in the year 1992. 2. However, since the petitioner's proposal for premature release was considered on 20.4.2010, the authority was expected to apply the norms specified in the recent Guidelines framed on 15th March, 2010. For that limited purpose, the matter was remitted before the concerned Authority for reconsideration keeping in mind the Guidelines framed on 15th March, 2010. PPD 2 9APPW.283-11-WP.1818-10 3. The appropriate authority accordingly has now re-considered the matter and has passed fresh order on 4th May, 2011. Now, the applicant's case is shown to be covered by category No.2(c) of the new Guidelines dated 15th March, 2010. We are in agreement with the said opinion of the appropriate authority. If it is so, no fault can be found with the decision of the appropriate authority in reducing the sentence period upto 26 years including the remission period. Accordingly, this application is devoid of merit. Same is disposed of. 4. Copy of this order be forwarded to the applicant who is presently in jail, for information. (P. D. KODE, J.) (A. M.
