Tambe, A.P.P. for the respondent CORAM : P.V. HARDAS AND A.V. POTDAR, JJ. DATE : 15th June, 2011 PER COURT : A communication sent by the petitioner through jail came to be registered as Criminal Writ Petition. We had accordingly appointed Advocate Ms Shilpa Awchar, learned Counsel to represent the petitioner in this petition. This petition impugns the communication dated 22.2.2011, rejecting the application submitted by the petitioner for his release on parole. It appears that the petitioner has an alternate efficacious remedy available to the petitioner, i.e. of filing an appeal before the respondent - Government. In that light of the matter, the petitioner may avail the remedy available to the petitioner in law. We direct the respondents to decide the appeal on merits as expeditiously as 2 Criminal W.P.No. 376 of 2011 possible, in the event the petitioner files the appeal. Petition stands dismissed with the aforesaid liberty and directions. Fees payable to the learned Counsel appointed on behalf of the petitioner quantified at Rs. 1,500/-. ( A.V. POTDAR, J.)
