ORAL JUDGMENT (PER SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J.):-
Heard both sides. The petitioner preferred an application for furlough on 16/11/2016. The said application was rejected by order dated 17/2/2017. Being aggrieved thereby the petitioner preferred an appeal. The appeal was dismissed by order dated 28/6/2017, hence this petition.
2. One of the reasons for rejecting the application of the petitioner for furlough is that his appeal is pending before this Court. 1/2 ::: Uploaded on - 13/10/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 14/10/2017 02:06:07 :::
