Mr. P.M.Anand, Addl.A.G., Haryana. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed for under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the orders passed by respondent No.3, vide Endst.No.36/149/09-1JJ(II) dated 17.09.2009 and further issue direction to the respondents to release the petitioner from jail as the petitioner has completed his sentence as per the Government instructions prevailing at the time of conviction of petitioner. Reply has been filed on behalf of State. CRM No.M-30975 of 2009 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. Perusal of impugned order dated 17.09.2009 passed by the respondents shows that the consideration of premature release case of petitioner was deferred by State Level Committee awaiting the decision of pending Special Leave Petition in the Hon’ble Supreme Court. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the Special Leave Petition filed by the State of Haryana has since been dismissed by Hon’ble Apex Court in State of Haryana and others v. Jagdish and Harpal, AIR 2010 (SC) 1690. Further contends that the case of petitioner is to be reconsidered in view of ratio of law laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court in Jagdish’s case (supra). Hence, in view of these facts, the present petition is disposed of with direction to respondents to consider and decide the premature release case of petitioner as per ratio of law laid down in Jagdish’s case (supra) within one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
