Rule. Shri Patel waives service of rule on behalf of the respondents. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. #. I fail to see any justification in the action of the authority to sit tight over the matter i.e. the application filed by the petitioner for grant of furlough leave to him. Whether the application is to be granted or not, it is different matter but once an application is filed, it has to be decided within reasonable time. #. The special criminal application is disposed of in terms that the authority concerned shall decide the application of the petitioner for grant of furlough leave within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of writ of this order. Rule accordingly stands disposed of with no order as to costs. ********** zgs/-
