By this petition, the petitioner seeks furlough and also quashing of the order dated 17th January, 2018 passed by the Director General, Prison Headquarters declining to grant furlough to the petitioner. The petitioner has been convicted in case FIR No.GSFC under Section 302 IPC read with Section 46/16 (D) and 40, BSF Act, 1968, PS 23rd Bn. Headquarter, BSF, Distt. Uttardinagpur, West Bengal.
