The present Writ Petition has been filed to extend the ordinary leave granted to the detenu until further orders.
2. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the application seeking pre-mature release of the Convict Prisoner is under consideration on the file of the Government. The process may take some more time and therefore, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor has no serious objection for extension of ordinary leave already granted by this Court in W.P.No.394 of 2025 dated 07.01.2025.
3. In view of the fact that the respondents seek time to dispose of the premature release application, we are inclined to extend the ordinary leave for a further period of three (3) months to the Convict Prisoner on
the following conditions:- (i) The extension of ordinary leave already granted by this Court in W.P.No.394 of 2025 dated 07.01.2025 stands extended for a further period of three (3) months, commencing from 20.07.2025 to 21.10.2025 to the Convict Prisoner viz., Abdul Razaak, S/o.Basheer Ahmed, aged about 45years, Convict No.10710, confined at Central Prison, Coimbatore.
