The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Tihar Jail Director-General (Prisons) to decide within two days the furlough plea of INLD chief O. P. Chautala, who is serving a 10-year term in connection with the teachers’ recruitment scam case.
Single judge order
A Bench of Justices G. S. Sistani and Vinod Goel issued the direction while disposing of Chautala’s plea against a single judge’s order cancelling his furlough. The Bench, while making it clear that the Tihar Director-General (Prisons) won’t get influenced by the single judge’s order, directed the former Haryana Chief Minister to file a fresh furlough application before the jail authority.
