One of the grounds for rejecting the application for furlough is that he has been convicted in a case of kidnapping. Notification dated 23/2/2012 states that if a prisoner has been convicted for the offence of kidnapping, he shall not be released on furlough. In view of the Notification, we are not inclined to interfere. Hence, rule is discharged.
