(Order of the Court was made by M.S.RAMESH, J.) Since the petitioner's son/life convict has not completed the mandatory period of three years of imprisonment to seek for ordinary leave, as required under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Suspension of Sentence Rules, 1982, the prayer sought for in this petition does not deserve consideration.

2. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. [M.S.R., J] [S.M., J] 26.07.2024 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Internet: Yes/No
