3. Learned APP pointed out that the case has been categorized and decided by the State Government by order dated 28th September, 2017. The said order and annexure are taken on record and marked "X colly" for identification. As the grievance of the petitioner was that the Government was not deciding his case for premature release, in view of the fact that the Government has decided the same, this petition is infructuous, hence, rule is discharged.
4. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the decision dated 28th September, 2017, it could be open to him to challenge the same.
