Court's or Judges Order =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mr. N.S.Khubalkar, APP for the respondents. C ORAM : P.V.HARDAS AND S.B.DESHMUKH, JJ. DATED : 5th OCOTBER, 2011. A communication, which was received from the petitioner through Jail, came to be registered as Criminal Writ Petition. The grievance of the petitioner in the aforesaid communication is that he ought to be released prematurely in the light of the fact that he has completed actual imprisonment of fourteen years. On notice of this petition being issued to the respondents, the respondents have filed affidavit-in-reply. In the affidavit-in-reply, the respondents have claimed that the petitioner has been placed in the category 2(c) of the 2010 Guidelines issued by the Government and the 2 imprisonment, which is provided for prisoners placed in category 2(c), is 26 years. The petitioner is not entitled, in law, to be released merely because he has completed 14 years of actual imprisonment. In the light of the fact that the petitioner has been placed in category 2(c), according to us, there is no merit in the present petition and the present petition, therefore, deserves to be dismissed. The petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE. chute
