Rule.
Learned APP Shri Shah waives service of rule on behalf of the respondent.
Grievance of the petitioners is that though they are entitled to remission as per the rules and the Government policy, the same is not being granted to them. It is the case of the petitioners that they have served out extensive sentence and if remission is not granted as prayed for, they would be completing the sentence shortly.
It is, however, not in dispute that the petitioners have not yet approached the authorities by making an application in writing for being given such remission.
Considering the facts and circumstances, it is provided that the petitioners shall make such application before the competent authority latest by 29th October 2010. If such application is filed within the time specified, the same shall be decided latest by 30th November 2010 and the decision thereon may be communicated to the petitioner immediately. If they are aggrieved by the same, it will be open for the petitioners to challenge the same.
With the above observations, both the petitions are disposed of. Rule is made absolute to the above extent.
