(1.) R. D. Mathur, J. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Advocate.
(2.) THE petitioner Lalloo has preferred this writ petition for his prema ture release under the provision of the U. P. Prisoners (Release on Probation) Act, 1938. It appears that the petitioner was convicted and sentenced under Sec tion 302/34, I. P. C. to imprisonment of life in Sessions Trial No. 77 of 1984 by the learned Sessions Judge, Hamirpur by his order dated 24-3-1986.
(3.) IN view of the report of the Joint Registrar mentioned above, it is clear that no appeal of the petitioner is pending against the order of his conviction and sentence. That being of the petitioner's case for premature release can be con sidered.
