CORAM : B.R. GAVAI AND KUM. INDIRA JAIN, JJ.

DATED : MARCH 10, 2017.

The petitioner has approached this court praying for categorization of the petitioner. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor states that the proposal for categorization is already forwarded to the State Government on 3.9.2015. We do not understand as to why it will take such a long period for deciding the issue regarding the categorization of the petitioner.

Criminal Writ Petition is allowed with a direction to the State of Maharashtra to decide the issue with regard to the categorization of the petitioner, as early as possible and in any case, within a period of two weeks from today.

Fees of the learned counsel appointed on behalf of the petitioner are quantified at Rs.1500/-. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
