The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. .......... Mr. M.V. Chougule, h/f. Hitesh P. Shah, Advocate for the Petitioner. Ms. M.H. Mhatre, A.P.P. for the State. .......... CORAM : A. M. KHANWILKAR AND P. D. KODE, JJ. DATED : 28th SEPTEMBER, 2011. P.C. 1. The grievance made in this Petition is that in spite of the outer-limit specified in the Government Notification to decide the Appeal by the Appellate Authority, the Appeal preferred by the petitioner against the order of refusing to grant parole leave as back as on 21.7.2011 is still pending in spite of reminders sent by the petitioner in that behalf to the concerned authority. 2. Learned APP submits that the Appellate Authority shall expeditiously decide the appeal. We hope and trust that the Appellate Authority shall dispose of the appeal by giving fair PPD 2 11WP.2813-11 opportunity to the petitioner as may be permissible in law on its own merits in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible preferably on or before 21st October, 2011. 3. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. 4. Copy of this order be forwarded to the Appellate Authority for information and necessary action. (P. D. KODE, J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
