((-1-)) mst IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1395 OF 2008 Dinkar Taru Salve Petitioner versus The State of Maharashtra Respondent P.S.Hingorani, APP. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND A.A.KUMBHAKONI, JJ. DATE : 27th August 2008 PC : 1. In this petition the petitioner seeks premature release on the ground that he is entitled to an early release on the basis of Government guidelines. The request of the petitioner was refused on the basis of 1997 guidelines. But since we were told that fresh guidelines are issued in April 2008 on the subject matter and the order passed by the respondents impugned in this petition had been passed on the basis of earlier guidelines, therefore, the Court directed re-consideration of the petitioner’s case in terms of new guidelines. 2. Even as per new guidelines the Government ((-2-)) is of the view that the petitioner can be released only after 26 years of imprisonment as per the latest guidelines. It is submitted that his case falls under Clause-2(c) of Annexure-I of the Government guidelines of 11th April 2008, as modified. 3. The offence committed by the petitioner was that he got murdered his wife by burning her after pouring kerosene over her. Therefore, we do not feel that any illegality has been committed by the respondents in holding that his case fall under Clause 2(c). Therefore, the petition is dismissed. (BILAL NAZKI, J.)
