[CORAM : P.V.HARDAS, AND A.V.POTDAR, J.J.] DATE : 25 th January 2011 ORAL JUDGMENT (PER P.V.HARDAS, J.): 1. Rule. Rule returnable forthwith. With the consent of drp {2} Cri.W.P.No.1195/2010 the learned counsel for the parties, this petition is heard finally at the stage of admission. 2. A communication sent by the petitioner, through jail, has been registered as Criminal Writ Petition. We had accordingly appointed Mrs.Bharti Gunjal, learned counsel, to represent the petitioner in this petition, before us. 3. Limited grievance of the petitioner, in this petition, is that though he had submitted an application seeking his release on Furlough on 09.08.2010, yet the said application has remained pending on account of want of submission of report by respondent No.4. It appears that three reminders came to be issued to respondent No.4 for submitting report and despite those reminders, the report has not been submitted. We certainly deprecate this attitude of respondent No.4 in not submitting report within time. Because of non submission of the report, the application of the petitioner has remained pending. 4. In that light of the matter, therefore, we consider it appropriate to allow this petition and direct respondent No.4 to submit the report within two weeks from today. We also consider it appropriate to direct the respondents to decide the application of the petitioner, in accordance with law, within a period of two weeks of the receipt of the report. drp {3} Cri.W.P.No.1195/2010 5. Accordingly, this petition succeeds and respondent No. 4 is directed to forward the report within two weeks from today and we further direct the respondents to decide the application of the petitioner, dated 09.08.2010, seeking his release on furlough, within two weeks of the receipt of the report from respondent No.4. Learned APP undertakes to communicate this order to respondent No.4. 6. Rule is thus made absolute on the above terms, with no order as to costs. We quantify the fees payable to Mrs.Bharti Gunjal, learned counsel appointed on behalf of the petitioner at Rs. 1,500/-. 7. Copy of this judgment duly authenticated be provided to the learned counsel for the parties, to act upon. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] [P.V.HARDAS, J.] drp/B10/cwp1195-10
