1 SSK/25 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 308 OF 2010 Bansi Krishna Narvade ....Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. Daulat G. Khamkar, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mrs. S. D. Shinde, APP. CORAM : D. B. BHOSALE & R. V. MORE, JJ. DATED : 23rd APRIL, 2010. P.C.: Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. 2. The petitioner is seeking premature release contending that his case is covered by category 1(c) of the GUIDELINES FOR PREMATURE RELEASE OF PRISONERS SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT OR TO DEATH PENALTY COMMUTED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT AFTER 18TH DECEMBER, 1978 (for short “the Guidelines”). The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the Jail Authorities have wrongly placed him 2 under the category of 1(d) of the Guidelines. He invited our attention to the judgment by which the petitioner has been convicted and submitted that having regard to the fact of the case and evidence, it cannot be stated that the offence committed by the petitioner was with premeditation. We have perused the judgment and order dated 30th June, 1997 in Sessions Case No.305 of 1995 by which the petitioner has been convicted under section 302 of IPC and sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life. From perusal of the judgment and more particularly paragraph nos. 12 and 17, it is clear that it was premeditated murder committed by the petitioner. It appears that there was one sided love-affair and since the deceased was not responding, the petitioner committed murder when the deceased was in her house. He inflicted several blows with knife which further proves that he committed murder with premeditation. In the circumstances, the Jail Authorities have placed the petitioner under the correct category and therefore, no interference is called for in writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the constitution of India. Hence, the petition is dismissed. (R. V. MORE, J.) (D. B. BHOSALE, J.)
