Petitioner has been granted furlough by the Competent Authority vide order dated 22nd January, 2019, however, the petitioner cannot be released as one of the co-convicts has been released on parole w.e.f. 29th January, 2019.

The reason for the petitioner seeking preponement of release on furlough is the marriage of the niece which is fixed for 21st February, 2019.
