Rs.2,000/- (Rupees Two Thousand only) and in default, to undergo six

and she was granted the premature release by virtue of G.O.Ms.No.618,
Home (Pri-IV) Department, dated 24.09.2022.
3. In view of the above development, we do not deem fit to deal
with this Criminal Appeal on merits, at this length of time. The learned
counsel submitted that if the appellant indulges in crime after her release,
premature release granted to her will stand cancelled. We hope that the
appellant does not indulge in any such crimes and for a mere apprehension,
we do not want to waste our time in hearing this Criminal Appeal at this
length of time.
4. In view of the above, this Criminal Appeal stands disposed
of in the above terms.
