It has been submitted by the petitioner that he has already served sentence for more and than 2\/3rd of the sentence provided for the offence. Petitioner by this writ petition has sought a mandamus that his case may be placed before the Advisory Board for the remission of the sentence Petitioner invited my attention to Clause (3) of Rule 8 of the Rajasthan Prisons (Shortening of Sentence) Rules, 1958. Since the petitioner is eligible for consideration under Clause (3) of Rule 8 for remission, therefore, he prays that his case may be placed before the Advisory Board for scrutiny as required under Rule 8 of the Rules. Learned counsel has invited my attention to the case of Subudhi etc. v. State and Ors. 1985 HIR 225 &amp; 1985 Cr. L.J. 1979.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. Mr. Dave, learned Dy.

Mr. Dave informs that the case of the petitioner that the case of the petitioner was considered by the Advisory Board no 5-9-1985 but for want of some more information, the matter could not be decided. Be as it may, in the facts and circumstances of this case it is directed that the superintendent, Central Jail Bikaner is directed to place the case of the petitioner before the Advisory Board for consideration of the remission of his sentence. If the Advisory Board recommends the same, the papers should be sent to the State Government forthwith for necessary orders. All these process should be completed within a period of three months.
