3. Shri G.P. Singh, learned AGA-I, has placed before the Court detailed instructions sent by the Senior Superintendent of Jail, Government of U.P., indicating that the petitioner’s application (Form-A) has already been referred to the State Government for processing his case for premature release. He prays for some time to file a detailed objection/counter affidavit.
4. Considering the communication dated 11.03.2025, we deem it appropriate to observe that the petitioner’s application for premature release be considered expeditiously. Accordingly, the instant writ petition stands disposed of with the observation that the State Government shall process the petitioner’s application for premature release as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of presentation of a certified copy of this order. Needless to say, we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the petitioner’s case. Order Date :- 29.4.2025 NLY (Anil Kumar-X,J.) (Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J.)
