He was convicted for the offence punishable under Section 302, 201 of IPC for having committed murder of his wife by setting her on fire by pouring kerosene on her person and while doing so he had tied the legs of his wife so that she should not move. Thus she was mercilessly killed. Under the Guidelines the Competent Authority categorized the petitioner under Category No. 1(d). According to the petitioner as per the Guidelines the category comes under 2(b). However, on perusal of the Guidelines we are satisfied that the case of the petitioner does not come under category 2(b) and the category determined by the Competent Authority as 1(d) is 2 quite correct and needs no interference. 2. There is another aspect of the matter. After completing 23 years of imprisonment inclusive of remissions, the petitioner would be released on 20.7.2008. In view of this no interference is called for in the impugned order. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE halwai
