P.C. : Learned A.P.P. submits that the petitioner has not completed 14 years of actual sentence period. This position is, however, disputed by the counsel for the petitioner. Without going into this controversy, we dispose of this petition with direction to the appropriate authority to consider the proposal of the petitioner on its own merits. If the petitioner has not completed 14 years of actual sentence period, it would be open to the appropriate authority to reject the proposal of the petitioner and communicate its decision to the petitioner. However, this shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, not later than six weeks from today. ( P.D.KODE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
