            3                   The application of the petitioner for furlough came to

be rejected on the ground that the appeal preferred by him against his conviction and sentence is pending before the Supreme Court. In Notification dated 26.8.2016 it is provided that if the appeal of the prisoner is pending before a higher Court and he has not been granted bail by the said Court, in such case, furlough cannot be granted to such prisoner. Looking to these facts, we are not inclined to interfere, hence, Rule is discharged. Petition is dismissed.
