CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & S.A.BOBDE,JJ. DATE : MARCH 14, 2008. P.C. 1. The petitioner has been sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment under section 307 and he has been in custody for less than a year now and during this period of imprisonment, he has already been released on furlough for an extended period of time. During the period he was on furlough, he moved an application for grant of parole which was not granted by the competent authority. That order is appealable before the State Government. Without filing an appeal, he approached this Court. We feel that the petitioner, who has already enjoyed furlough, may file an appeal to the Government seeking parole. -: 2 :- 2. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (S.A. BOBDE, J.)
