IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.622 of 2010 MAKSUDAN YADAV @ MASUDAN YADAV & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 23.7.2010 Despite previous adjournment, no counter affidavit has been filed and prayer is made for further time. Learned Senior counsel Shri Krishna Prasad Singh, appearing for the petitioners very fairly submits that the application may be disposed off with direction to the respondent State to consider the petitioner’s application for remission of sentence in accordance with law expeditiously. Since this Court has been informed in another similar matter that statutory rules for remission has already been framed by the State Government earlier in time, we direct that the representation of the petitioner be disposed by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three weeks from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order before respondent no. 2.
