Further contended that the offence was allegedly committed by him on 24.9.2009 and hence, now, he has completed the said period of one year. In view of these facts, the petition is disposed of with direction to the respondents to consider and decide the premature Criminal Writ Petition No.1222 of 2010 -2- release case of the petitioner in accordance with law and instructions on the point within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
