As such the petitioner is at liberty to approach the concerned Superintendent of Prisons for the said relief. 4. In view of above, the writ petition stands disposed of. 5. Fees payable to Mr. A.M.Kukde, Advocate appointed for the petitioner are quantified at Rs.Seven Hundred and Fifty only. JUDGE JUDGE RR.
