DATED: 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2006 P.C. 1. The Petitioner has moved this Court impugning the decision taken by the State Government in categorising him under Category 5(a) of the Rules (14 years Rule of Prisoner undergoing life sentence, laid down under the Government of Maharashtra Letter No.RLP-1092/13 / 252 /PRS- 3 dated 11 th May, 1992). According to the Petitioner, he is not a habitual decoit, that does not come to the rescue of the Petitioner as conviction and sentence by the trial Court was confirmed by this Court, which clearly makes out a case that the Petitioner has committed decoity with murder. Therefore, he has been rightly categorised under 5(a) of the said Rules. 2. Petition dismissed. (SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, J.) (SHRI. J.N. PATEL, J.)
