JUDGMENT 1. The petitioner is undergoing the sentence of imprisonment on account of the order of conviction passed by the Court under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. His detention is not illegal. 2. This Habeas Corpus Petition has been filed for premature release. 3. The basic question which comes for consideration is whether the Habeas Corpus Petition is maintainable or not. Such a petition lies only in case the detention is illegal. 4. Shri G.C. Chatterjee appearing on behalf of the petitioner concedes that the petitioners detention is not illegal. His only contention is that since on earlier occasions similar reliefs have been granted by this Court in Habeas Corpus Petition, this Court may also pass similar order. We are not inclined to accept the contention to made. 5. After giving our thoughtful consideration to the matter, we are of the view that the petitioner's detention is not illegal so the Habeas Corpus petition is not maintainable. 6. However, in the interest of justice, we permit the petitioner to make the suitable amendments in the petition. Thereafter it may be listed before the appropriate Bench. *******
