3. The application of the petitioner for furlough came to

be rejected on the ground that he is convicted for an offence

punishable under Section 376 of IPC and as per Notification

dated 1.12.2015, a person who has been convicted for the

offence of rape shall not be released on furlough. In view of

these facts, we are not inclined to interfere. Rule is

discharged.
