Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Shri T.A. Mirza, A.P.P. for the respondents. CORAM : Mrs. V.K. TAHILRAMANI & PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. March 10, 2011. The petitioner has been convicted under Section 302 of Indian Panel Code. The case of the petitioner is that though he has completed 14 years of actual imprisonment, his case has not yet been considered by the State Government for premature release. Shri Mirza, learned APP, on instructions, states that the case of the petitioner has been forwarded to the State Government under 14 year Rule. As the case has already been forwarded to the State Government on 29.01.2009, the State Government is directed to take a decision thereon by 30th April 2011. The further prayer of the petitioner is that the fine amount imposed on him is Rs.40,000/- and the same should be reduced. As stated earlier, the petitioner has been convicted under Section 302 of I.P.C. He was convicted by the judgment and order dated 21.12.1988 passed by the learned 2 Sessions Judge, Akola, in Sessions Trial No. 135 of 1988. Being aggrieved thereby, the petitioner had filed appeal No. 83 of 1989 and by the judgment and order dated 05.01.1993, this Court dismissed the appeal and maintained the sentence and fine. The fine is not Rs.40,000/- but the same is Rs.30,000/- only. As the Division Bench of this Court has already considered the appeal of the petitioner as well as the aspect of sentence and the fine, it is not possible for this Court to pass any further orders thereon except the directions to the respondents that the case of the petitioner be disposed of by the State Government at the earliest and in any case by 30th April 2011. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
