In Brief
Firoz Tayyab Tanasha sought interim release pending consideration of his premature release application. He had served over 16 years in prison with good conduct. The State recommended his premature release but required a District Magistrate's report. The Supreme Court directed him to submit the prescribed Form A application within two weeks, with the District Magistrate to examine and report. The Court continued his interim release pending final State Government orders and clarified that pending proceedings would not prevent consideration for permanent release on auspicious dates if he remained eligible.
