DATED: DATED: DATED: 17TH DECEMBER, 2004. 17TH DECEMBER, 2004. 17TH DECEMBER, 2004. P.C.:- Admittedly the petitioner’s furlough application dated 18/7/2002 is not decided till date. The learned counsel for the petitioner is not present in the court. However, Ms. Kejriwal, the learned A.P.P., on instructions from Mr. V.G. Khandare, the Jailor, Kolhapur Central Prison, Kalamba, who is present in court, has furnished us the required information. She states that if this court stipulates a time frame, the petitioner’s furlough application dated 18/7/2002 will be disposed of within that time frame. Hence, we pass the following order: We direct the DIG (Prisons), Western Region, Yerawada, Pune, to dispose of the petitioner’s furlough application dated 18/7/2002 within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of this order by him. We hope that the application will be disposed of within the time stipulated by us because already there is a gross delay on the part of the authorities in considering the said application. We note that PSI Chavan from Sakinaka Police Station, Mumbai, is also present in court. Rule discharged. All concerned to act on ordinary copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar of this court. (SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.) (ABHAY S. OKA, J.)
