DATE : NOVEMBER 19, 2019.

P.C.:

Learned APP is seeking time to obtain instructions in detail.

We find from nominal role that on last occasion when he was released on 26/6/2019 on furlough, he has reported back himself, but late by one day. For this late reporting, there is remission cut of 5 days i.e. maximum possible punishment has been inflicted.

During hearing, we find that he reported back on Sunday and actually was late by 2 hours and 5 minutes. Talwalkar
