1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTON CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.3447 OF 2010 Chintaman Sitaram Kedari .. Petitioner V/s The State of Maharashtra & Anr. .. Respondents Mr.N.N.Gavankar i/by Mr.Arfan Sait for the petitioner. Mr.M.H.Mhatre, APP for the State. CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR AND V.M.KANADE, JJ. DATE: 10th December, 2010. P.C.: 1. The only grievance made in this petition is that the appropriate authority has decided the case of pre-mature release of the petitioner by applying the old Guidelines of 1992. According to the petitioner in the facts and circumstances of the present case, the recent Guidelines of 2008 are more beneficial to the petitioner, which aspect has been completely glossed over by the appropriate authority while passing an order dated 31st July, 2010. 2. In view of the decision of the Apex Court in the case of State of Haryana V/s Jagdish, (2010) 4 SCC 216, we dispose of 2 this petition with a direction to the concerned authority including the Respondent No.1 to re-consider the case of the petitioner keeping in mind the dictum of the Apex Court in the decision referred above. All questions are left open to be decided in accordance with law on their own merits. 3. We hope and trust that the appropriate authority would decide the proposal of the petitioner for pre-mature release in terms of this order, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months from today. (V.M.KANADE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
