The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that his application for furlough leave is rejected by the Prison authority. 2) Heard learned Counsel for the Petitioner and learned APP. Learned APP states that surety offered by the petitioner is a history sheeter and hence petitioner’s application is rejected. If that is so, we cannot interfere with the order passed by the Prison authority. However, if the petitioner offers a fresh surety, the Prison 2 authority may consider his application in accordance with law afresh expeditiously, keeping in view his age. 3) Petition disposed of.
